There Is No Afterlife

"We found the marshal and the general!!!" At the same time, the voices of surprise from the students came from the system!

"Congratulations everyone, everyone has successfully completed the task." As usual at the end of every project in the virtual system, everyone heard the sound of the system, without a single ups and downs, it was a familiar mechanical sound.

There was a burst of cheers from the crowd!

The hearts of the students, who had been so tense until now, finally loosened, and they waited happily to be sent out by the system.Unexpectedly, after waiting and waiting, they still didn't get the familiar sense of teleportation, and everyone became suspicious.

"What's going on?" The two who were resisted by the children were Marshal Rothsay and General Condon!Lieutenant General Yolan couldn't sit still anymore, he stood up abruptly.

"Report, report to Lieutenant General Yolan! This time it is a problem with the military's intelligence brain. It has already controlled the infected system. Under its control, the behavior that the infected system could have performed is no longer possible!"

"Stop it! Stop No. 1!" Lieutenant General Yolan's voice was extremely anxious.

"No, there is no way to stop it! Once No. 1 starts to execute the destroy order, there is no way to stop it!" The head of the technology department almost cried out!

The entire conference room was deadly quiet.

***

Di Zong, who stayed on the Lander to take care of the wounded, was the first to notice the arrival of the black warship.

"Mulgan, what's the matter?" From the very beginning, Mugen's reaction was not right, and Dobby pushed him lightly.

"..." Didn't answer him immediately, Mugen glanced out the window hesitantly, and answered Dobby's question after a while: "No, it's just... just now I felt that the floor seemed to shake."

"Would it? I didn't feel it—" Dobby was speaking, and their feet trembled violently again.Everyone felt the trembling this time.

Dobby looked at Mugen in astonishment, following Mugen's line of sight, he finally saw the huge black battleship!There are countless black muzzles all over the battleship. At this moment, the direction where all those muzzles are aimed is——

My side! ?

"Next, we will announce the last mission: Go to galaxy 11 (88, 96, 13) and meet up with your dead comrades. Your souls will return to your hometown together. Time limit: before being overtaken by the black warship."

This……

Everyone was stunned.

The content of the last mission... the style seems to be quite different from the previous ones, doesn't it?

However, there was no time for them to think about it. Just now, the black battleship fired a shot at the students' position. I don't know what weapon it used. The shot went down silently, and it stopped at Several warships there disappeared without a trace!

Those battleships... are full of Grando students! ! ! !

"Everyone board the ship immediately!!!" Mu Gen yelled on the communication platform, and everyone woke up like a dream.

Lander opened all the landing platforms, His Excellency the Marshal and General Condon, who were unconscious, were sent up first, and a large number of students also climbed up. During their landing, the black giant ship was still maintaining a certain frequency in an orderly manner. Attacking, the enemy base they had attacked for four days was already vulnerable to a single blow in front of the black giant ship. In just 5 minutes, the entire base of enemy warships and mechas were all gone!

The lander driven by Mugen happened to take off at the same time as the land under his feet was destroyed——

The speed was increased to the limit in the shortest time, and under Mu Gen's operation, the lander quickly headed towards the destination!

However, the black battleship has been following the landers. No matter how tricky Mugen's flight path is, it has always been steadily chasing behind them.

The unidentified giant black ship did not know what kind of powerful weapon it was using, and everything became nothingness wherever it went.

The universe is collapsing bit by bit——

Mugen knew that he was going to be hit several times, and there was only one reason why he could still continue to fly: Oli sent someone out to divert the attention of the battleship.

Alvin took Colton's students out;

The warships of the Imperial Defense Academy are out;

The mecha regiment of Grando Military Academy went out;

Finally, Brad and Dobby went out too.

Mu Gen and Olivia were the only ones left in the noisy cockpit.

"Don't look back, drive towards your destination." Just when Mugen was about to turn his head to look around in a panic, Olivia stretched out her hand to fix his head.

Ollie only said such a sentence to him.

Mugen's ears were completely covered by Ollie. Ollie's palm was not big, but it was very powerful, and the temperature in his palm was so warm that it was a little scorching hot.

Mugen could only look ahead.

With no distractions, he desperately fled towards his destination.

Finally—he finally reached his destination!

Mugen breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head, and saw Olivia at the side at a glance.Ollie sat in the passenger seat while he concentrated on operating the ship.Harassing the pursuer, resisting the attack of the pursuer, various auxiliary tasks during the flight, supplying various energy...all are his jobs.

Previously, Dobby, Brad and three other people were in charge of this part of the work. Now that the others have left, Ollie has taken over all by himself.

Seeing Oli's appearance at the moment, Mu Gen was startled.

The dark red blood had seeped out through the thick bandage and coat, sweating profusely, and Ollie looked extremely embarrassed.

Seeing Mu Gen staring blankly at him, Olivia smiled, loosened his seat belt, and stood up.

"Very well, let's disembark."

Olivia bent down, and then suddenly dragged the two hostages up.

Without saying anything else, Mugen quickly jumped out of the driver's seat, took General Condon from Olivia, and the two of them dragged the two hostages towards the hatch with great difficulty.

Just as they jumped off the spaceship and were about to leave, the black battleship arrived after destroying all the disruptors.

From a long distance, Mu Gen saw the devouring cannon fired by the opponent towards him!

Strange things happened at this time.

Behind Mugen, the Lander, whose engine and all power units had been turned off by him, suddenly started up again.Under Mugen's stunned gaze, the spaceship lifted off!

There is obviously no one else on the spaceship, right?

Wait—are there other people I noticed?

Mugen quickly denied this idea: No, it's impossible, only he can drive the Lander, and other people can't operate the Lander proficiently.But now the person driving the Lander is obviously very proficient, much better than Mu Gen.

"Leave quickly! We don't have time!" Just when Mu Gen was in a daze, Olivia woke him up in time.

Following behind Olivia, Mugen finally left without looking back.

***

"I will protect you."

Behind him, the lander launched its strongest attack on the black intruder—

It has been four full days since being captured by Mugen. During the four days, Lander followed the students to participate in countless battles, large and small, and never suffered too many injuries.

First of all, it is a transport ship;

Secondly, Mugen's operation is very good, and it is well protected.

Among all the warships and spaceships, the lander is in the best condition. In the virtual system, this is an almost miraculous existence.

Since it is a virtual system, and the main purpose of the operator is to practice, so whether it is the mechs or spaceships here, after experiencing battles, their condition is destined not to be very good.

Direct scrapping is the most common processing method, and the processing method after scrapping is also very simple: the smart brain on the scrapped product is redistributed to another new carrier and put into the system again.

Different human beings have to be guided every day, and different injuries are suffered every day. The intellectual brain of the virtual system is the most pathetic.The real machine is damaged and may be repaired, but the brain in the virtual system often directly replaces it with a carrier.

"I like my blue arms before." The intelligence brain has existed for a long time, and occasionally some intelligence brains will produce sporadic self-awareness.These consciousnesses are things that are not allowed to exist, and the brain of the virtual system will be cleaned up every once in a while.

Only occasionally, there will be consciousness bodies that do not want to be cleaned up anyway.

Lander is such a consciousness.

"Infected person 1840, please give up resistance and wait to be cleared." Lander's attack was vulnerable to the military's intelligence brain, completely unafraid of its attack, and No. 1 steadily drove towards it.

Hearing this sentence, the technicians outside the screen were stunned for a moment, and quickly found the code corresponding to the registrant number. After checking it carefully, they were stunned.

"My God! The spaceship driven by Di Zong is actually the source infection code we have been looking for!"

Afraid that Lieutenant General Yolan would not understand, the head of the technical department explained in detail: "Didn't you say that another intelligent brain with self-awareness was produced in the system before? The code corresponding to that intelligent brain was judged by the military intelligence brain. The code for infecting the virus was directly placed in the quarantine area by the military intelligence brain.

The whole incident is caused by this line of infection code.For some unknown reason, it modified the mission without authorization, kidnapped the virtual consciousness bodies of Marshal and General Condon, and finally kidnapped all the students who entered the system collectively in its own system!

This guy is the culprit! "

Before, because they didn't know which line of code was the source infection code, the staff of the technical department had to check each line of code one by one. In this work, if they are not careful, they may destroy the code representing the students or even the marshal!At the same time, this code is very cunning, it will disguise itself, assimilate other codes in order to confuse people's sight.This increases the difficulty of technicians even more.

The intelligence brain of the military department was also confused by it, but it knew that it had isolated the infected code in advance, as long as all the codes in the isolated area were destroyed, that piece of "garbage" would naturally be destroyed at the same time.

In the virtual world, the black battleship symbolizing the brain of the military department destroyed the mechs and battleships in this world along the way. In the real world, when reflected on the work screen of the technical department, a piece of code was directly deleted.

"I wish I could have found this line of code sooner! Damn it—" the head of the technology department lamented. "It's over! Once it's destroyed, the whole world here will collapse—"

Before he could finish speaking, Lander was hit.

The black No. 1 battleship landed in front of it, and all the turrets turned to the lander, preparing to give it the final blow.

Looking at those turrets, Lander—to be precise, the brain on Lander made a move that no one expected.

Facing the enemy, the white spaceship lifted its wings upwards.

"……surrender."

It... actually surrendered! ?

Raising your hands means surrendering, and you won’t kill if you surrender—this is what the children of Di Zong said to other intelligence brains before.After the other brains followed suit, they were not "killed".

but--

Surrender is for humans.

Facing the surrendering Lander, the huge black battleship mercilessly aimed all its guns at it, and then...

Fire.

***

Olivia and Mugan had already run to a door before the explosion.According to the prompt on the locator, the coordinates inside the door are the real galaxy No. 11 (88, 96, 13). However, the door is so heavy that Mugen couldn't open it at all. In the end, Olivia pulled the door open forcefully.

Olivia pulled the door, Mugen went in first, and then dragged the two hostages in through the crack of the door.

Just after all three were inside, Mugen heard the loudest explosion he had ever heard in his life.

The overwhelming fire surging from the hallway—the last thing Mugen saw through the crack of the door.

The door slammed shut in front of his eyes.

Facing the sudden big explosion, Ollie let go of the door, the time was too short, he chose the latter between spending more time and effort to stuff himself in the door or letting go to close the door.

Ollie was shut out.

"Oli..." Mu Gen whispered Oli's name softly.

He resolutely dragged the two adults forward.

Inside the door is a densely packed room full of egg-shaped cabins.All the students who died in this competition were in the egg, Dobby was there, Brad was there, Avery was there... none of them were missing.

While looking for a spare egg-shaped cabin to fit the Marshal and the others in, Mugen saw Ollie.

They were all asleep, as if they would wake up in the next second.

Wiping his eyes, Mugen grinned.

After struggling to squeeze the two adults into the empty egg-shaped cabin, Mugen got into the egg-shaped cabin next to Ollie, and not long after the door was closed, the familiar sense of teleportation came immediately.

"Meet your dead comrades, and your souls will return to your hometown together."

That's what the last mission is all about, right?Who was the person who just piloted the spaceship?No matter who it is, his "soul" should be in an egg-shaped cabin here at this moment, right?

That would be all right, he would definitely be able to return to his "hometown" with the others.

Mugen closed his eyes.

The author has something to say: The original version 1 (you can choose to read it according to your needs): "The marshal and the general have been found!!!" At the same time, the voices of surprise from the students came from the system!

"Congratulations everyone, everyone has successfully completed the task." As usual at the end of every project in the virtual system, everyone heard the voice of the system.

There was a burst of cheers from the crowd!

The hearts of the students, who had been so tense until now, finally loosened, and they waited happily to be sent out by the system.Unexpectedly, after waiting and waiting, they still didn't get the familiar sense of teleportation, and everyone became suspicious.

In the end, Ollie also took people out.

"Don't look back, drive towards your destination." Before leaving, Ollie only said this to him.

Ollie never came back.

Like other people who went out to harass the black giant ship before, they never came back.

With no more thoughts in his mind, Mu Gen desperately fled towards his destination.

finally--

He has finally reached his destination!

Mu Gen breathed a sigh of relief, he was about to happily talk to Dobby, but found that Dobby was no longer there, and the surroundings were completely silent.

Mu Gen was startled.

That's right, Brad and Kerry... also went down.

In order to cover themselves and give themselves a little more time, everyone else went down to drag the black battleship.

Now there is only myself on the Lander.

The only person who can complete the task is himself.

Wiping the sweat from his brow, Mu Gen immediately jumped out of the driver's seat, dragged the two hostages with difficulty, and walked towards the hatch.

Just when Mugen jumped off the spaceship and was about to leave, the black warship arrived after destroying all the disruptors.

From a long distance, Mugen saw the devouring cannon fired by the other party towards him.

Mugen's eyes widened——

Strange things happened at this time.

"I will protect you."

After standing in a daze for a few seconds, Mu Gen finally left without looking back.

open fire—

***

Mugen heard the loudest explosion he had ever heard in his life.

With his heart pounding, he closed the egg-shaped cabin containing General Condon. Mugen took a last look at the room: this is a densely packed room full of egg-shaped cabins.All the students who died in this competition were in the egg, Dobby was there, Ollie was there, none of them were missing.

Mugen got into the last empty egg-shaped cabin, and not long after the cabin door was closed, the familiar sense of teleportation came immediately.

"Meet your dead comrades, and your souls will return to your hometown together."

That's what the last mission is all about, right?Who was the person who just piloted the spaceship?No matter who it is, his "soul" should be in an egg-shaped cabin here at this moment, right?
