Chapter 30: Gnosticism

"They're human! Whatever it becomes, it's our brother! ”

There was a lot of noise in the corridors of the lower cabins of the mercenary battleship Novominsk, where the sailors shouted and shoved, desperately trying to break through the lines of the guard squad; The guards didn't dare to move, so they could only squeeze forward arm in arm, like a rugby game in an alley. [No pop-ups. 】

Counselor Park pursed his lips: "Why did you make such a fuss, just for those wooden people?" ”

"Report, indeed, for the sake of the wooden man." The guard replied, "Some people have recognized the wooden men we have just fished up from the sea, and there are several sailors who are fellow villagers. ”

"How can this be recognized."

The wooden man himself spoke. When we caught it, we thought it was broken, but one of them suddenly started up, and then we went crazy and banged our head against the wall. Several sailors rushed up to hold it down, and the thing began to speak. Repeating a word over and over again, as if it was going home or something, and then grunting and muttering inaudible. A few of the sailors could tell it was their native dialect. ”

"Inexplicably, this is a war. Those wooden people have been puppetified, and it is impossible to restore them back. ”

"β€”report!" Another sailor rushed down from the deck, and his voice was two minutes ahead of himself, "Report, report to the staff officer," he said as he tried to adjust his breath, word by word, "those, wooden man,"

Staff Officer Park knew that something was wrong as soon as he saw the other party's expression, turned around and walked up, "Say, what's wrong." ”

"The wooden men on the transport ship jumped into the sea and swam towards us, towards our ship."

"Hell, those things are going to sink our ship. Prepare the gun emplacements, call all the deck gunners, and get ready to shoot. ”

As soon as this sentence came out, the sailors behind him blew up: "Can't shoot!" "Those are our people!" "Those are people, they are people!"

Stafflor Park was so embarrassed by the sudden situation that he stumbled on the steps before holding on to the railing to the flight deck. Unexpectedly, something went wrong on the deck: Kara's F-24 fighter had been lifted up by the elevator, and the front and rear seats were her and Meng. The power of the whole aircraft is started, and it is ready to take off at any time. "It's broken!" He remembered that the princess had ordered him not to let the two men go.

"Turn off the car!" He yelled, "Don't take off!" No one can take off without the permission of the princess! ”

Before the words were finished, the F-24 fighter had taxied to the take-off position, the wings were deployed, the flaps bloomed like bird feathers, the whole aircraft tested the rudder surface, and the binary vector engine nozzle gradually closed to increase the flow velocity, and then expanded suddenly, and the twin-engine full afterburner thrust. The long and scorching flames burst out in an instant, and the huge force swept across the deck like a storm, blowing Staff Officer Park almost into the air and rolling on the deck several times in a row. He quickly reached out and grabbed the tethered hole to secure his body.

By the time he looked up again, the F-24 Tomcat II had already skidded off the foredeck and disappeared in an instant. Staff Officer Park suddenly felt himself in a cold sweat, and he hurriedly ran forward, apparently intending to catch up with the jet fighter on his two legs.

Kim Kang-hee said behind him, "Okay, Counselor Park." I see it, you can come back. ”

"But, princess!"

"He'll be back."

Counselor Park pouted and bared his teeth: "This guy! Then he turned and began to give orders to the deck gunners: "Send two men to the port side to stand guard, and the others to spread out on the starboard side, ready to shoot." ”

"Yes! But do we have to shoot? ”

"Those are puppets! Nothing, just a bunch of deranged machines. Do you want me to teach you the rules of the battlefield? If we don't stop those things from coming aboard, we're all going to die, and so are our families, you know. ”

"But, however, the struck has already taken off, and he can restore the puppet's soul and let them rest in peace, we have seen it with our own eyes."

Staff Officer Park was about to give the order to confinement the machine gunner when he suddenly saw other sailors surround him. "Oh no, the soldiers will be infighting." He put down the shelf, removed his right hand from the holster, and put his hands on the shoulders of the soldiers in front of him, "Yes, those who were once our brothers, I understand, and I am as sad as everyone else, they are glorious and brave Youth Corps fighters, they deserve merit, and not die like this. However, they have sacrificed themselves and will never be revived. Once the wooden man is puppeted, the spirit cannot be restored. They are sacrificed for our advancement, and all we can do is to continue to fight and move forward with their spirit! In this way, their sacrifice will be ......"

The speech had a certain effect, some sailors bowed their heads, some held back tears, and some mourned in silence. But at this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "Resurrection, wood man resurrection!" The leading of the struck begins! ”

Staff Officer Park was so frightened that he forgot where he said.

Other sailors rushed in, "Has it already begun?" "Hooray, the leading has begun, the leading of the attack has begun!" "Lead our brothers and set them free!"

Cheers came and went.

The frenzied wooden man in the lower cabin was helped up, this is a special assault model for the army, the strength and weight are much stronger than ordinary humans, the madness just now knocked the inner bulkhead out of a big pit, but now it is completely normal, just like ordinary people. The wooden man seemed to remember something, hugged the other sailors, and could only repeat one word in his mouth, "Go home". The wooden man straightened up again, saluted the sailor, and then slowly collapsed on the deck, the power burned, and the machine died peacefully.

The sailors also took off their hats and saluted.

"Look, look at the ships."

Following the shout, the wooden manipulators on the transport ships also stood up and saluted the new Minsk, which immediately whistled its whistle. In the deep and powerful whistle, large swaths of wooden men fell, and the wooden manipulators in the sea also stopped paddling frantically, cut off the power supply, and then were swallowed by the waves.

At some point, the remaining transport ship on the surface of the sea caught fire again, tilted and slowly sank.

The whole ship of the new Minsk mourned in silence, and everyone was immersed in solemnity, only Staff Officer Park was very embarrassed.

The F-24 fighters soon returned. Obviously, the struck re-entered the Hundred Sun Ghost system, giving peace to the suffering souls of the puppets. However, the obstruction of the curvature of the earth and the interference of the electronic equipment of the new Minsk made it impossible for him to cover the signal, and it was the only way to take off and increase altitude.

The new Minsk began to give guidance signals to assist the landing of Kara and Mong aircraft.

Staff Officer Park couldn't stay on the flight deck any longer, he turned around and walked to the side of the gunwale, went down the stairs, and after a few corners, knocked on the door and entered Kim Gang-hee's officer's cabin: "It's unreasonable. Princess, you should come and see. I've never seen what happened before, how the hell did Meng Strike fool these sailors. ”

"No, Staff Officer Park, you don't know him, he's not the person you can imagine." Jin Jiangji fell into the memory, and an innocent smile appeared on her face that she hadn't seen for a long time, "In the castle tower, when I saw him for the first time, I thought he was extraordinary. ”

"It's just a trick."

"But without him, you might be out of luck today."

Staff Officer Park was speechless.

"He has a very magical power," the princess's expression changed, and that mature and fierce look radiated in her eyes, "We need his strength to capture the royal capital and find the location of the mausoleum." And he will lead us to the center of the whole black hole, and put an end to all this, to end the curse that my family has suffered for generations. She waved to the staff officer, "Go back to your post, and pay more attention to their actions in the future." ”

"Yes, my subordinates understand." Staff Officer Park exited Kim Gang-hee's cabin.

As he walked, he pondered what he could do to control the attack. For an image that was almost divine in the minds of sailors, he was afraid that he could not do anything. However, as the wingman and deputy of the attack, Kara, she is an ideal breakthrough. As he turned the corner and went up the stairs, an idea also came to his mind.

As soon as I entered the bridge of the nautical ship, the sirens suddenly sounded.

"There is an enemy!" Lookout shouted, "The shadow of the ship was spotted at ten o'clock." ”

"All in the battle position."

"Target judgment, judgment!"

Staff Officer Park felt that the voice of the lookout was not quite right, and he trembled.

"It's pretty much clear." He repeated again, "It is the southern Zhongshu government fleet, including 1 destroyer Gwanggaetu Dawang-class, 2 destroyers Sejong-Daewang-class, and there may be a destroyer Munmu Dawang on the left flank." In addition, there are a number of Ulsan-class frigates and a number of combat boats that cannot be determined. ”

"God, this is almost all the strength of the Zhongshu government army after the war."

At this time, Jin Jiangji's order came: "Don't engage in battle, secretly track this fleet." Their target should be the positions of our troops. ”

"Understood." Staff Officer Park commanded the naval officers to draw up the tracking route. The refitted Novo Minsk returned to a maximum speed of 32 knots, barely able to pursue. The mercenary battleship took advantage of the erratic fog on the sea surface as a cover, and advanced at full speed through the waves, completely entering the black hole area.

Inside the hangar, Kara stepped out of the cockpit and down the ramp, but she suddenly realized that something was not quite right: "What's wrong?" ”

Mengji is still connected to the Hundred Day Ghost system, and after each combat mission, he has to carefully check the condition of the equipment and organize the records. But after this return voyage, he didn't do that, just sat there, clenched his teeth, and his expression was serious and nervous.

"They, they're shouting." He suddenly looked at Kara and said to her, "Quick, get the Situation Center, and all the electronic operators, out of their posts at once." All operators leave their posts! ”

The new Minsk at this time completely entered the black hole zone.
