Future Crystal Crown

At dusk, Admiral Horn came to the Office of the Secretary of Defense.

The chief of defense stood in front of the French windows, like many evenings in his life, quietly looking at the bustling world below him from the perspective of a high-ranking person.

The golden-red sunset is sinking into the horizon, and the sunset glow dyes the sea and sky in the distance as bright red as blood.

"They're gone?" The chief of defense didn't look back, still staring out the window.

"Yes, all imperfections are bound to be shattered, and the cold reality needs blood to warm it." Admiral Horn walked over and stood shoulder to shoulder with the chief of defense.

"..." The chief of defense turned a deaf ear to Admiral Horn's obvious accusation. "The strong come out of the purgatory of suffering, and the life of every successful person will not be smooth sailing."

"But it's different to be framed. Why don't you come to the rescue when you are clearly capable?" Admiral Horn clarified his point of view.

The chief of defense smiled slightly, unmoved. "I'm too old to tell the difference between freedom and fear."

"Can't you tell? The angel is by your side, but you have become the devil's accomplice." Admiral Howen sneered.

There was a slight twitch on the side face of the Chief of Defense. He has seen too many things over the years, and he has developed a temperament that is not surprising. However, Haun's words still made him feel a tingle in his heart. The entanglement he had to do made him helpless and even more depressed.

"We always fail our favorite

our people.Sometimes these failures are precisely because of too much love. "The chief of defense rarely sighed.

"Mesa said that our children are all cursed, I never believed it, but today I am very glad that I did the right thing back then." Admiral Horn said in a low voice.

"Oh?" the chief of defense.

"Someone persuaded me to kill the child in the laboratory back then, but I didn't think it was necessary. Now it seems that it is the benevolence of this thought that made the Noahs sacrifice their lives to save my son today. The curse of my family can finally be broken." Admiral Horn is not without complacency.

"He'd better be as good as you said!" The chief of defense was a little apprehensive, and after thinking about it calmly, he realized that there was something in what Admiral Horn said.The chief of defense gave Haun a wary look. "What are you trying to hint at me?"

Admiral Haun smiled and leaned closer to the Chief of Defense's ear: "If he comes back alive, he will be a hero who saves mankind. The story of the Noahs will no longer be a secret. The public will sympathize with him and denounce the Congress. As the Chief of Defense, How do you justify what you did today?"

"Hmm..." The chief of defense pondered for a moment.It's not that he hasn't thought about it, but he hasn't figured out how to do it.

"Hown," the Chief of Defense.

"Huh?" Admiral Horn asked.

"I hope he can succeed, but don't come back alive!" The chief of defense looked at Haun.

Opinions in Congress were divided on what to do with the Noah.The legal committee has a guilty conscience and hopes that this matter will continue to be kept secret; but the scientific community is firmly opposed, and the biological community hopes to conduct a vivisection on him; genetics hopes that this precious specimen can be shared by various laboratories, and some people even propose to use it to improve genes; The problem doesn't stop there. What Congress is worried about is that if the old story of the Noahs is revealed, the big discussion about genocide will overturn the signboard of the Star Alliance and make the congressmen feel ashamed...

So the best way is to let this matter end in a touching way, even if the hero is killed by himself.

"I will prepare a few more sets of memorial speeches." Admiral Horn understood.

The chief of defense smiled comfortably.This is their tacit understanding, the good and the ugly, all mixed in this very top circle of power.

Two old men who are about to retire stand side by side in front of the window, using their sophisticated minds to plan for the future, while in the dark blue night sky above their heads, the God of the Universe is slowly opening his eyes to watch the entire centaur. The footsteps of time and space reincarnation.

The starry sky is as deep as thick ink, as if hiding all grievances.The mecha battleship streaked across the deep space like a meteor, leaving star clusters behind.

They are not military airships, and they cannot use military passages that require pass codes. They are in a hurry, and they cannot use crowded civilian passages.They can only take a road that no one has traveled, and walk alone in the interstellar wilderness.

Cooper and Amor sat in the driver's and co-pilot's seats, while carefully operating the mecha to deal with various unexpected road conditions, while frantically studying the user manual of the mecha.

Li Zhonglin fiddled with the communicator, tirelessly trying to send out various emergency alarms.Hopefully one or two of these brief alerts will be lucky enough to be captured by a military base station, ideally by contacting Major General Rogue, Lieutenant General Haynes, or some other zone commander who can help.

Sean was always by Qiu's side.

Qiu's condition was very bad, and the massive blood loss in a short period of time caused various stress reactions in his body.His body temperature was low and his heartbeat was unstable, his lips were so pale that they were almost transparent, and he was sweating non-stop.But even then he refused to rest.

The extremely quiet and resolute expression made Xiao En quite worried about Qiu's state.

"Go to sleep for a while, you still have a few hours to reach Sagittarius. You can recover some energy by sleeping." Sean carefully persuaded.

Qiu, who had been deep in thought, raised his eyes to look at Xiao En, and shook his head slightly. "I can hold on... I'm just a little tired."

Sean couldn't persuade him any more, he patted Qiu on the shoulder and went about his own business.There may be an air battle later, he has to check the shipboard equipment to see if there are any weapons at hand that can arm these people.

Qiu sat by the window, watching the starry sky in the distance through the narrow window on the mech.

Admiral York’s words rang in his ears over and over again, as if he had been set to repeat: “You have no human rights, and you are not protected by law. You are a guinea pig in a laboratory, a breeding product in the list of state-owned assets. If the room master wants you to live, he will let you live, if he wants you to die, he will let you die..."

Then there was the news on the communicator. The speaker triumphantly announced to the media that Major General Rogge's troubles had been resolved, and the wedding between him and his daughter was coming soon. It would be an unprecedented wedding of the century. He has prepared everything for his daughter...

Qiu clenched his fists and told himself that now was not the time to think about these things.The most important thing now is to catch up with Elson and stop his plan to reverse time and space. In order to complete this task, he must remain calm.You have to preserve your fighting power until the end, and you have to wait until you finish the mission if you want to be sad or angry.

His fists were cold and his palms were sweaty. Qiu ordered himself to clench his fists, gathering all the strength in his body to fight against the sounds and images that kept playing back in his mind.

"Look, that's a drone." Li Zhonglin suddenly exclaimed excitedly.

Everyone looked at the porthole on one side, and a high-speed drone was approaching the mech they were riding on.

"No, that's a bomb machine, it's here to bomb us." Amor yelled.Cooper moved the joystick violently, and the mech changed direction abruptly while advancing at high speed.

The huge centrifugal force made everyone feel dizzy, especially Qiu, whose eyes were almost completely dark.

I heard Cooper and Amor discussing loudly, and while ordering the mecha to enter the combat state, they complained that the mecha control program was too complicated.

The two of them quarreled to make the mecha roll over, but the bomb-carrying drone had already locked on to the mecha and insisted on following behind.

"Hurry up, hurry up, don't let it catch up. My God, there's another one on the right, and there's another one on the left, and there's another one on the left." Li Zhonglin pointed at the screen and yelled wildly.But no matter how Cooper and Amor pressed the fire switch, the mecha didn't respond.

"Damn it, didn't they load us with ammunition?" Amor was going crazy.

"The ammunition bay shows ammunition inside." Cooper.

"Then why can't it launch?" Amor asked.

"Quickly check the manual!" Cooper gritted his teeth.

"Damn it, I just followed the instructions!" Amor jumped up, and slammed a thick manual on the ground with a "snap".They came to chase someone, and they were entangled by the drone without even seeing the figure. If the technology is not good enough, they would be convinced, but now they can't launch the ammunition even though they have ammunition, which is really useless.

Amor yelled in anger, and the others were helpless.The drones will fire at the mecha at any time, and now they are like a wolf being chased by a hunter, fleeing desperately in the most embarrassing posture.

The drone opened fire.

The bright light roared in, and the heat of that vitality could almost be felt.

Cooper swung the mech violently, relying on his superb driving skills, he should have dodged a wave of artillery fire.

"Oh my god, what can I do?" Li Zhonglin yelled.

Amor was at a loss.

Cooper desperately pulled the joystick, trying his best to avoid the next wave of artillery fire.

However, at this moment, the red light on the console suddenly flashed, and the fuselage shook slightly.Both Cooper and Amor were very experienced pilots, and they immediately realized that something had flown out of the mecha.

Cooper hurried to look at the screen. "Damn, hit one down."

"Ah? Really?" Amor also leaned over to look.

"Look here, one of the ammunition is missing, we must have shot it." Cooper pointed to the monitor.

"It's great, it's great, I love you mecha, come on man, shoot them all down." Li Zhonglin shouted with jumping feet.

But both Cooper and Amor were dizzy.

"Who can tell me how this was launched? I obviously didn't operate it." Amor muttered to himself.

"Huh? Where's Sean? Where's Sean?" Cooper suddenly realized that Sean wasn't here.

"Cockpit, can you hear it in the cockpit? I'm in the ammunition compartment. I need support here. Can you come here?" Sean's voice came from the loudspeaker.

"Damn, why didn't you say it earlier!" Amor and Li Zhonglin looked at each other, turned around and ran back at the same time.

Cooper started to make a large-angle tail-wagging s-spiral, and soon, the drone caught the trap and followed closely.

Entering the firing range, the mech vibrated slightly again.Qiu saw a flash of light like fireworks outside the porthole.

"Success! The tail has been thrown off." Li Zhonglin's voice came.

"Good job!" Cooper was also happy.

Qiu looked at the porthole and thought deeply.
