imperfections

"What's the situation?" Turan said inexplicably, "General, this is the reinforcement you brought?"

Without waiting for Lin Jingheng to answer, she denied the conjecture by herself: "Oh, it looks rich, but it definitely isn't."

"Tulan," Lin Jingheng said, "you lost your voice halfway through the performance, and there was an intermission?"

Turan: "..."

Lin Jingheng: "Don't care about them!"

They were chasing at the rear, while the unknown armed forces that had newly joined the battle blocked the front. The Anti-Ukraine Society was bombed on the way to retreat, and the command ship was unfortunately smashed to pieces. The rest of the rabble lost their organization like headless flies The Eight Galaxy Self-Defense Forces caught up from behind and shot down one by one.

A flustered anti-Ukraine mecha strayed from the group, trying to narrow down its target, and before he could take advantage of the chaos to escape, Zhanlu's mental net swept over him, the pilot dropped the line without a word, and the backup pilot hurriedly They rushed forward, desperately trying to regain the spirit net, but Lin Jingheng directly used the spirit net to turn on the broadcast on the mech: "Do you want to be a prisoner or die?"

Several backup drivers froze for a second, and then showed it with practical actions—they chose to die.

Outside the region, beyond the reach of human civilization, every planet there is not a habitable planet. These believers in nature can only live in cold artificial bases, exiled from the ocean and green land, facing the vast and empty space. According to the universe.

Those who have not really struggled with faith and the universe will not understand their hysterical madness.

Lin Jingheng simply and neatly fulfilled them. When they counterattacked the spirit net, they directly opened the powerful air pressure device on the mecha remotely, and within a few seconds, all the air in the mecha could be drained. Several people who would rather die than surrender The hero suddenly became a corpse with burst eyeballs and a miserable death, and the mecha was quickly caught by Zhongsan.

After the new armed forces joined the battle, in just a few moments, the Anti-Ukraine Society was almost wiped out, and the remnants of the defeated generals were wiped out.The Self-Defense Forces of the Eight Star Systems collided head-on with unknown armed forces.

Opposite Yishui's super-dimensional heavy armor is so gorgeous that it can blind people's eyes. Compared with the hatchback, the eight-galaxy side looks like a gang of beggars.

Neither of the two sides said anything first, so they were deadlocked.

"Sir," Zhan Lu said, "the human-machine interface of some of the opponent's mechas has no 'gap', and the man-machine matching degree is 100%. The driver is either artificial intelligence or a chip transformation."

Is it the Pirate Freedom Legion?

The doubts in Lin Jingheng's heart became more and more serious. He remembered for no reason the man-made space station that sold "opium" that was seized near Gloria Star.

Turan tried to send a communication request to the other party, but nothing happened, and the other party did not answer.

Afterwards, this mysteriously armed team was divided into two, and the rear team became the front team. The leading mechas slowly withdrew from this passage, and passed through the nearest transition point at a uniform speed under the eyes of Lin Jingheng and the others. Just left, the rest of the mechas remained in place motionless, staring at the Eight Galaxy Self-Defense Forces.

Turan: "Is this the space version of 'One Two Three Wooden Men'? I see...how about hitting them lightly?"

Lin Jingheng acquiesced to the violent person's suggestion, and Turan then "lightly" blasted a high-energy particle cannon at the front mech.

However, as the high-energy particle cannon disappeared on the protective cover, something even more strange happened - I saw that these motionless mechs suddenly handed over the authority of the spiritual network collectively!

From the perspective of the spiritual network, it is like a gust of wind blows, and a piece of candle is gradually extinguished.

A Self-Defense Force vanguard stepped forward cautiously, took over the mental net of one of the mechas, and peeked into these weird mechas: "Report sir, the mechas are in good condition and the arsenal is fully loaded."

Turan asked, "Where's the driver?"

Pioneer replied, "There is no sign of life inside the mecha."

Zhanlu interjected: "There is no artificial intelligence that can communicate."

Turan had goosebumps all over his body: "Then who was the one who started the armor just now, ghost?"

The machine armor is indeed a ghost - they spent more than ten hours, the Self-Defense Forces and the engineering team spared no effort, and even released Lu Bixing who was locked in a small black room. After dismantling the brand-new and good-performing hyperspace heavy armor, a corpse was found on each heavy armor—when the corpses were pulled out, they were all leaning against the wall in a unified posture, dead standing, and the cause of death was unknown.

It's like in ancient ghost stories, the soul was taken away by a group in an instant.

Each corpse has a biological chip on the back of the neck. The chip is very similar to "opium", but there are subtle differences. When it is taken out, the chip has been completely inactivated and cannot be detected.

As the vanguard who landed first said, the mech's arsenal was almost fully loaded except for the bombing of the Anti-Ukraine Society just now.

What is the concept of full armor?

Back then, Lin Jingheng robbed Sister Smelly's two spare material warehouses. To be on the safe side, he packed all the important military supplies on a heavy three, which was almost not full.

Turan felt like she was dreaming. A day ago, she thought she was unlucky this time, and she would lose a dozen small mechs that were under maintenance and couldn't lift off. An elite super-space-time heavy armor regiment descended from the sky, and it's launched!

These fifty heavy armors are very new, and the technical content is far from that of Lin Jingheng's old heavy three. It can be said that compared with the Union Zhanlu back then, it is only a smart mecha core-heavy armor It is true that most of them have their own artificial intelligence, but these mechas come from a strange way. If there is artificial intelligence, Lin Jingheng and the others may not be afraid to use it with confidence.

Since the eighth galaxy currently does not have the ability to produce heavy armor, their existing heavy armor is seized through various channels. Collecting the pile of shabby rags at home is not as luxurious as this lineup.

The Pirate Freedom Legion, they were like a bunch of clowns at first, they got a bunch of small broken mechs from somewhere, the quality and appearance were uneven, when they were expanding their business in the eighth galaxy, they were still fighting with non-mainstream cults like Poison Nest. Organizational cooperation seems to be particularly low-grade. Compared with the other two pirate forces, it is almost a grass-roots team that is patchwork.

But every time they meet, the equipment of the Freedom Legion will climb to a higher level. Thinking about what is behind this leap-like development, it is really creepy.

From the beginning of the war to the present, it has only been more than a year. How far has opium raged within the alliance, so that this behind-the-scenes drug lord can collect money like a nuclear explosion?

"The former space station was shot down at any rate, but now it's all for nothing." Lu Bixing leaned forward deliberately, cheekily, pretending to forget that Lin Jingheng was in a cold war with him, and asked out of words, "This mysterious The characters are very interesting, isn’t it someone who has a crush on you? Do you know who it is?”

Lin Jingheng shook his head slowly, he thought of Laura Gordon.

The drug lord behind the opium must be someone very close to Laura... and himself, and there are not many such people.

Lin Jingheng is in the alliance, and most of her daily contacts are high-level members of the Military Commission. If it is one of them, she must find a way to get some equipment from the alliance's military factory, so that the Freedom Legion will not be so shabby at the beginning.

As for Laura... As the person in charge of the White Tower, she nominally belongs to the management committee.

As for the relationship between Lin Jingheng and the management committee, there has always been no speculation, and the only contact is...

Lu Bixing noticed that his expression was not right, and was afraid that he would be thinking wildly, so he wanted to make a joke and bring the topic to an end. He put his hand on Lin Jingheng's shoulder, and flicked his hair and chin with his fingertips, and said in his ear: "General, you look so serious, you have a lot of flirting skills, should you give me a..."

Lin Jingheng grabbed his wrist.

Lu Bixing was stunned, Lin Jingheng's fingers seemed to be embedded in his bones, his face was expressionless, but his lowered gaze made people feel uneasy, as if through the flesh, someone had whipped his soul hard .

Lu Bixing: "Lin, what's wrong?"

When Cyclops and Yu William went to various parts of the Eight Star System to contact old comrades in arms, they were betrayed by an old friend, and they were chased and killed by the Freedom Legion who held a grudge because of the robbery of opium.

One-Eyed Eagle once said that he and the traitor had a life-and-death relationship, and had drifted in the same space mecha for more than 50 days... At that time, he mocked the One-Eyed Eagle and uttered wild words, saying that even if they lived together in the same womb, Can't explain anything.

He said it so grimly, so firmly, like he wouldn't regret it.

"I only have you." Lin Jingheng pinched Lu Bixing's knuckle-boned wrist, as if pinching a life-saving straw.

At the Garden of Eden Experimental Base, the Yang brothers and Lin Jingshu bid farewell.

"We didn't expect that the news would fall into the hands of the Legion of Glory first, and they would use such a low-level method." Posson Yang said, "Since everyone knows about General Lin's stay in the eighth galaxy, our backup There is no point in the center anymore, we plan to meet up with Baiyin San as soon as possible and rush over."

Unexpectedly, Lin Jingshu did not force them to stay, nor did she intend to embarrass them, and even prepared supplies for them along the way.

"I have a well-camouflaged mecha. The eight galaxies are in chaos now. Be careful on the road. I heard that you are a logistics and technical department. You shouldn't have to rush to the front line when fighting a war, right? So walk slowly and encounter a military blockade." Just take a detour, safety first." After Lin Jingshu instructed, she paused for a moment, and then said, "My brother has never done those things, I know, and he will be fine."

After finishing these two sentences, the twins' doubts about her were almost dispelled.

"That's right," Thomas Yang forced a smile at her, "It's an insult to associate General Lin's name with that big pirate president, but some people deliberately frame it, and some people think it's raining. Miss Lin, the alliance is very serious right now. Dangerous, are you really not going with us? There are ghosts in the Angel City Fortress, and you will be in danger."

Lin Jingshu shook her head, and repeated each word lightly: "Didn't I say it, it will be fine."

The Yang brothers tried to persuade her again and again, but Lin Jingshu refused. In desperation, she had no choice but to leave by herself.

Just as they left, the first silver guard who was closest to the first galaxy replied remotely.

"What did you say?" Lin Jingshu asked.

"There is no important information," a person in a white coat said to her, "I just reported my coordinates, saying that I am rushing to the eighth galaxy. The original words were 'Ordered by the general to avoid the Little Hummingbird Fortress, we are docked at... ...'"

"Little Hummingbird Fortress," Lin Jingshu interrupted him, "It's that...what's that called?"

"General Ye Lifu, Lu Xin's former department, some people say that he has always held a grudge against the alliance."

"Oh, very good, then let him be." Lin Jingshu lowered her head, as if ordering a dish casually, "Lu Xin's old department, the position during the war is subtle, even my brother doubted it, perfect. Whether it is him or not, it is perfect. Let him be the 'fuse' for the ignition."

The white coat glanced at her cautiously: "Madam, in case he is innocent..."

Lin Jingshu looked at him inexplicably, and asked, "What does that have to do with me?"

The white coat choked for a moment, then lowered his head to raise an objection.

Lin Jingshu: "It's very hypocritical to be reluctant to tear your face apart when you're fighting each other. I'll be the bad guy who messes things up."

"Ma'am, what about Angel City? They found the body of your bodyguard and traces of fighting on the spot, and you disappeared again. Now it's an urgent headline."

Lin Jingshu narrowed her eyes: "Then I'll continue to 'disappear'."

At this time, the "Little Hummingbird" fortress had been transferred to the aphelion point. Ye Lifu returned to his mansion from the military base with a heavy heart, still thinking about the things that have been raging these days.

For some reason, the voices of those people denouncing Lin Jingheng reminded him of what they said about Lu Xin back then.

Those people swear by it, and the most classic evidence is that when Lu Xin fought for the rights of the eight-galaxy system, he became angry and once blurted out: "Look at the bird in the eighth galaxy, it's better to hand it over to the pirates." Go ahead!"

Lu Xin became famous too early, and he held a high position at a young age, so he is a bit crazy, but he is not a fool who can't control his mouth in public.

He said this when he was chatting with his adjutant in a supply station on a civil waterway on a private starship during his vacation. The robot maintenance man heard it.

The maintenance man is a die-hard defender of the Declaration of Freedom, has participated in every righteous demonstration, and hates interstellar pirates as much as he hates killing his father-even though he has never seen what a pirate looks like.

Hearing this, the maintenance worker at first thought he had identified the wrong person, so he sneaked back and checked Lu Xin's customer identity information for the convenience of his work, only then did he dare to believe that he was the "Lu Xin".Shocked that the "backbone of the alliance" who holds a heavy army is so politically incorrect, this defender was indignant and worried. After returning home, he cried all night and gritted his teeth the next day. Driven by social responsibility, he took Reported with the recording.

They said that Lu Xin betrayed the alliance and betrayed the faith.

They said that he was complacent, that his personal moral character could not keep up with his position, that his ambition was inflated, that it was not counted if he controlled the Military Commission, and that he was trying to control the alliance council and turn the alliance into his own.

They also said that he was putting on a show and showing affection to the public every day. In fact, his marriage with his wife had long existed in name only, and they had been playing their own games for so many years—the marriage rate in the new ephemeris era had dropped to 15%. The long life and youth made everyone A pair of two hundred and five who played marriage play house impulsively ended up parting ways.What kind of "hundred-year partner" is he who advertises that he focuses on his family all day long? Do you believe this shit?

Is there any greater victory than revealing the true colors of the person on the altar, pulling him down and stepping on ten thousand feet?

What else can better reflect the majesty and fearlessness of truth?

"Pour me a glass of vodka," Yeriv said vaguely to his guards. "By the way, ask if the fort's thermostat is broken? It's fucking cold."

The guard replied: "Sir, the real-time temperature shows 24°C, and there is no abnormal change. Do you need to check your body in the medical cabin?"

"No," Yeriff said grumpily, "fuck off, I want vodka."

The guard obediently brought the wine and poured him a glass. Ye Lifu took a sip, and the pungent smell of alcohol hit his forehead, but he suddenly noticed that the guard in front of him was an unfamiliar face. The wine was spat out, and he pushed the glass forward: "Go and add ice... You weren't from the Guards before, were you?"

"No," the guard said calmly, "I used to work as a guard at the base. Recently, someone in your personal guard called for sick leave. I spent money to clear up the relationship before I squeezed in."

When he said this, Ye Lifu was also a little impressed. He vaguely remembered the young guards who stood guard at the gate of the base and saluted him every day, so he relaxed a little: "What time is it, and I still want to use these messy methods to climb up. , wouldn’t it be good to earn some military exploits in a down-to-earth manner?”

The guard replied: "I have narrowly escaped death in battle, so it is better to be your personal guard. It is safe, has a high starting point, and can make you acquainted in front of the officer."

"I'm most annoyed by you speculators with rotten money in your family," Ye Lifu waved his hands with a grimace, "you don't follow the right path."

The guard smiled good-naturedly, put ice in his drink, and didn't refute.

Ye Lifu took a deep look at him, using the wine glass to cover him, he quietly opened his personal terminal, scanned the face of the young guard in front of him, and asked casually: "What is your family doing, so much spare money to bribe the chief? "

The guard replied vaguely: "Business."

Ye Lifu lowered his eyes, quickly scanned the files that were called out, let out a prolonged "oh", and calmly sent out an alarm: "What business?"

The guard raised his head, and his eyes just collided with Ye Lifu. The guard's eyes were cold, and there was something wrong with his pupils. It looked unnatural, like a cold-blooded animal.

"Chip," he spat out two words, "General, don't you want to drink your wine?"

On the file retrieved from Ye Lifu's personal terminal, next to the passport photo of the young guard, the words "Orphan, date of birth unknown" were marked impressively.

Ye Lifu suddenly pulled out the gun from his waist, and shot the guard's knee: "Fart!"

Although Ye Lifu is not a thing, but he has been fighting for many years, and he has the ability. It is impossible to miss such a shot at such a close range. He wanted to make the other party lose his ability to move before continuing to press, but who knew that the guard was shot in the knee, but he just Shaking in place, it didn't move at all!

He even looked down at the trouser leg with a big hole, picked up the trousers and shook them lightly, and walked towards Ye Lifu without restriction.

Ye Lifu was shocked: "What the hell are you?"

The guard smiled without saying a word, his distorted expression was extremely strange, and he approached him step by step. Ye Lifu had goosebumps all over his body, and fired several shots at the opponent. At the same time, he couldn't help but look at his personal terminal again— — It stands to reason that his personal guards should arrive within two seconds after receiving the alarm, but...

"Don't look, General, your signal can't be sent out, and the surveillance cameras won't capture anything."

Ye Lifu kept retreating to the corner: "Who are you from? The Anti-Ukraine Society? Angel City? Or the President of the Legion of Honor?"

The guard's face slowly deformed and distorted, turning into another completely different face. Countless people and countless surveillance cameras in the Little Hummingbird Base didn't even notice it: "You can ask hell about this question. Farewell."

Assassination, this is the last bottom line for the complete collapse of modern civilization.

Three hours later, changing guards found Yerive's body.

The traces on the body and surveillance showed that before he died, he frantically fired at the empty office, yelled something as if he was crazy, and then shot himself into the temple.

It is known from his medical records that Ye Lifu was alcoholic and took a lot of emotional drugs at the same time. The conflict between alcohol and emotional drugs was the main factor that caused his madness, and there were a lot of call records in his personal terminal. The caller is the Grand President of the Legion of Honor.

The news came out, and at almost the same time, Ankru of the seventh galaxy received it through a special channel.

At this time, Ankelu was almost standing in front of Lin Jingheng——

At the beginning of September, when the eighth galaxy was facing internal and external troubles, it suddenly got a hyperspace heavy armor regiment from nowhere. Ask the headquarters for help, the matter has come to this point, there is no other way but to increase troops.

At the same time, the eight galaxy dispatched a large number of military mechas and began to evacuate the residents near the front line of the battle.
