Yu Lian and Vane were lying in the robotic path between the cabin and the third layer of armor, and had just finished a brief call with Earth.

The former said that this kind of operation is too normal and he is not surprised at all. The latter said that although he also knew that the bureaucrats were doing this, he still couldn't accept it when it happened to him.

"At this time, I'm still pretending! Standby, who should be on standby! A third-line secretary of the presidential palace dares to order me Horatio Vane to stand by your uncle! ”

"Brother Horatio, when did you learn to say such down-to-earth swearing!"

"From Simon, of course...... Ahh ”

Since the earth side is unreliable, it can only find a way to solve the problem by itself. Vane was about to think of a battle plan, but saw the big screen on the opposite commercial street suddenly light up. The first to appear on the light curtain, naturally it was Brigadier General Morey's threat to the earth.

This unfolding is very routine, but Yu Lian and Vane are very serious, wanting to take the opportunity to observe the environment in the bridge. Immediately after, it automatically switched to the main venue of the Azure Princess.

It was the scene of the execution of two ordinary civilians.

Through the ventilation windows of the pipes, they can take in the view of the big screen. The two watched the whole process of this brutal incident. Two innocent ordinary people were shot through the head and fell on the stage, bleeding all over the ground.

The two were relatively speechless for a while. The sense of accomplishment of saving the "starry elf" suddenly disappeared.

Yu Lian sighed, he had seen such a scene many times in his previous life, although he was regretting the two innocents, but he also knew that even if he became the ultimate boss of the Nine Rings and could travel the sea of stars in the flesh, but when the manpower was finally exhausted, it would never be possible to save everyone.

He was now a little glad that he had finally put Miss Serena in a safe place. Such a scene is really not suitable for a little girl to observe on the spot.

Vane clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes were about to burst into flames: "These people are the gendarmerie special service!" ”

"I know, the most elite special forces in the inner guard...... How can you tell? ”

Although these people were wearing high-end close-fitting power combat suits and were loaded with live ammunition, they did not have any identification on their bodies, and they only knew that they were from the earth.

"That person ......" Vane pointed to a figure on the screen, "Major Bacchus, before joining the Secret Service, served in the Security Department, and served as my grandfather's bodyguard. ”

Well, this is the natural network of the upper-class son's brother! The nature of this broken country is really clear at a glance!

"It's a shame that the military should degenerate to the point where they use guns against unarmed ordinary people!"

"Sneer......"

"What are you laughing at? Are you humiliating me again? ”

"You're right, I'm really humiliating you." Yu Lian glanced at the other party, as if he was despising a little white face who had not been beaten by society: "If the army does not have the function of wielding guns against defenseless ordinary people, what is the need for its existence?" ”

Vane was slightly stunned, and subconsciously wanted to refute, but with his IQ, he naturally immediately understood what Yu Lian meant, and immediately had to admit that what the other party said was too reasonable.

However, it was precisely because of the reason that he was even more depressed.

"Go ahead. It looks like he's going to execute a group of hostages every half hour, and if he wants to stop more tragedies, he's going to have to hurry. Yu Liandao.

Vane certainly understands this. But he understands that it is impossible for people to be really calm and rational all the time. For example, he felt overwhelmed at the thought that Miss Fina was among those people and that she might be hurt in the next round of atrocities.

Looking at Yu Lian, who was calm from beginning to end, Vane, who has always been the pride of the sky, felt a more intuitive sense of frustration for the first time.

"When Brigadier General Morey appeared just now, I saw Fifi on his camera. Even though it was only a moment, and she was huddled in the crowd, I did see her! Yu Liandao.

Vane was a little stunned. He was looking at it just now, and he was so engrossed in it that he didn't even blink his eyes, but he didn't even notice Miss Fina's existence.

"The hostages on the bridge that Morey took should all be more valuable and will not be easily harmed. We still have some time. Yu didn't even look back and continued to move forward.

So, not only calm, but also observation, attention, and even love for Miss Fina, have I lost to you?

Horatio Vane was even more depressed.

Fortunately, he quickly adjusted his mentality and said to himself: "Horatio Vain, you haven't lost yet!" Life is a long marathon! Just because he's ahead of himself now doesn't mean he'll always be ahead of him in the future! ”

"It's imperative to get back in touch with the outside world! With just the two of us, it is impossible to rescue the hostages! Yu Liandao.

Vane nodded, "Didn't you connect just now?" ”

"Just for a short moment. I just used the Hucong Type 12 processor to briefly invade the communication channel, and slightly test the shielding state of the other party, but if you force the connection for a long time, it is easy to lure the enemy over. Besides, if it was really for the sake of connecting with the outside world, I wouldn't be directly connected to the earth. You don't really think that if you send the communication to the Eternal City, Madam Vice President, Mr. Prime Minister, and so many other big people will attract attention, right? ”

The contact just now had proved this, and Vane could only admit that Yu Lian was reasonable, so he said in a blunt tone: "Okay, what is the result of the temptation?" ”

"It's not a big problem! Go to the central control room, I should have a way to bypass the ship's communication shielding. Anyway, it is a thing produced by Jiuxing Company, and it can be strictly guarded against the current mainstream Beka-style electromagnetic signal, but the adaptability is too poor, and it can't respond to the slightest change. This is the safety hazard we can deal with! I only need to change the wavelength a little bit to become a Z-shaped electromagnetic wave. First, though, there's the need for a physical connection. ”

Thanks to the Imperial Academy of Military Sciences, the Z-type encrypted radio waves you developed have not yet become the mainstream of military encrypted signals, and you don't even know that they exist.

In addition, thanks to Ina, who is two million light years away, it is with your (future) little video that I know how to use sticky composite metal to rub into the shape I want!

Vane nodded again. Whether he understands it or not, it's just a nod at this time anyway.

"Also, according to the original plan, weren't we going to confirm the numerical location of the hostages and the enemy? Once there, I can try to hack into the enemy's communication channels and confirm this. ”

The two of them then set out on their way decisively.

Without saying a word, Vane followed Yu Lian, tiptoeing through the intricate engineering passages in the ship's intricate spider's web. He had a lot to ask, but he also knew that now was not the time for anything else to do.

However, a few minutes later, when Yu Lian decisively led him through the twelve intersections, he finally couldn't help it.

"Why are you so familiar with this ship? When and how many times have you been here? ”

Well, you brought me up! I also participated in the super ship project of converting this Azure Princess into a battle cruiser and renamed it "Liberty Princess"! And I saw with my own eyes that you and Mr. Yang drained the two domed swimming pools on the foredeck, and forced a light spear cannon and an electric arc cannon into it!

The so-called burning qin boiled crane, it's better to be!

“…… I'm not familiar with it at all, I'm just going on my instincts! Didn't you say that? Psykers, once in a while, have to trust their instincts. ”

"What? Gut feeling! Are you playing metaphysics for me at this time? ”

This is what the Spirit of the Universe teaches us! It's the transcendent discussing the occult! Shut up, mortal! ”

Vane thought about it seriously for a long time, but finally didn't raise his helmet and hit the other party's head. After all, he didn't have a choice now.

Of course, Yu Lian felt the anger of Brother Vane, but he really couldn't explain it, so he could only use the almighty cosmic spirit to take the blame.

Fortunately, the spirit of the universe is actually manifested. After the two climbed in the pipeline for more than ten minutes, they avoided a few scorpion-type robots patrolling in the pipeline, and then came to a relatively wide pipe, and through the side ventilation duct, they could see the door of the central control room at a glance.

However, at this moment, the door is closed, and two humanoid robots are standing guard by the door, meticulous and unmoving, like steel statues.

"Grey Mist Guardian Type 2...... It's not an opponent that can be taken down in a turn or two. Yu Lian pursed his lips and gave up the idea of entering through the gate. He closed his eyes and derived the psionic perception from the past, and he could confirm that there were at least ten or more people in the central control room, but none of them were psionic beings, let alone Wang Jingyang's breath.

Yu Lian gritted his teeth, tried to suppress the growing concern in his heart, and continued to move along the pipe. Wayne behind him naturally followed without saying a word.

Soon, the scenery in front of them suddenly opened up, and they entered a large computer room.

In the center of the room, countless pipes connected the floor and ceiling, and were entangled with the machines in the center of the room.

"This is the No. 1 communication central control terminal of the Azure Princess, which is a merchant marine communication computer ordered from the Republic of Minlan. In addition, there are numbers 2 and 3 as backups. Of course, if No. 1 is still normal, the standby will not start. ”

Vyannono nodded. He was now numb and decided that it would be better for him to give up thinking for a while. He understands that along the way, if there is no Yu Lian, not only will he definitely get lost, but he must have already fought with various patrol robots.

Yu Lian picked up the intrusion terminal that had been improvised with various machine parts, pulled out the wiring, and made a direct physical connection to the central computer, and then he operated it on the patchwork portable device.

He shifted the electromagnetic wavelength of his information terminal, his eyes quickly scanning the images and numbers that kept popping up, trying to memorize all the information.

At this moment, the information terminal of the Azure Princess has been completely opened to him, and for him, there is no secret on this ship.

Vane looked at the other party's operation, saying that he didn't understand it at all, and suddenly felt like a monkey.

He also took engineering and communications management as an elective, and got quite good grades. However, he couldn't understand the other party's operation at all.

Fortunately, before Vane's mentality completely exploded, Yu Lian finally finished all the work and pointed to the headset.

“…… Whew, it's a little better than I expected. He said.

"Oh? How so? ”

"We're not completely alone on this ship. I'll just say, there are hundreds of security personnel on the Azure Princess, how can it be so silent and all wiped out. ”

Vane instantly understood what Yu Lian meant, and his heart suddenly rejoiced.

At this time, there was a noisy sound in the ears of the two. Vane thought that what he could hear immediately was someone big in Friendship City, such as Marshal Erwin or something, but what sounded immediately turned out to be a familiar voice, which was Akinayama Hachiman.

"Horatio, Yu Lian, it's you, right?"

Vane couldn't help but glare at Yu Lian viciously.

"I think everyone on those two ships is more reliable than the big people on earth, don't you think so?" Yu Lian shrugged.

Vane had to admit that he really felt so, after all, the previous facts had already shown this, so his eyes became even more vicious.

Yu Lian ignored him, lowered his voice and replied, "We are on the Azure Princess, and we are lucky at the moment and we are not hostage!" ”

There seemed to be a small cheer in Vane's headset.

"Great, Lian Jun is fine......" This is the glass with a trill.

"You're scared me to death!" With a hint of crying, this is Zhixia.

"No injuries, right?" Suppressed anxiety and irritability in composure, this is Annie.

"It should be healthy to listen to sounds." Acting calmly, but obviously breathing a sigh of relief, this is Dinah.

"Blessed by the spirit of the universe!" Sincere prayer, this is Lilia.

"Oh, by the way, Horatio-kun should be okay, right? That would be great. "Sure enough, it's still Liuli who is the most understanding, at least I know how to make up for a greeting. It's just that Brother Wayne obviously didn't appreciate it, and suddenly his face turned black.

Then, in this jubilant atmosphere, Akinayama Hachiman's voice suddenly became a little listless: "Anyway, thank you for coming to keep you safe...... However, it should be more than just the way you sent a message at this time, right? ”

Vane continued to blackface, looking like he didn't want to say anything.

Yu Lian shrugged his shoulders and lowered his voice, "Major Calder of the supervision group, where are they now?" ”

"Oh, before the incident, I had already taken the ferry back to the director's office to report." Zhixia's voice was very natural, but it was too natural, and it suddenly seemed unnatural.

"It doesn't matter what Jun wants to say now. Now it's just my own people. Ruri added.

I'll just assume I don't know anything. Yu Lian said to himself, cleared his throat, and began to report on the current situation: "In addition to Brigadier General Morey, there are fifty-six terrorists in total. Sixteen of them were on the bridge with Brigadier General Morey, where there were two hundred and twenty-three hostages. In addition, thirty men were outside the Great Hall, guarding the remaining 21,134 hostages, commanded by Major Balde. The remaining ten enemies are on standby in the central control room next to us, responsible for monitoring the condition of the whole ship! ”

"Who is it?" Kent's voice came from the headset.

"Military Police Special Service." Vane replied.

"Oh well, bad news." Hachiman's voice was even more distressed.

"In addition, there are a total of 200 unknown combat robots on board, which are divided into two models. Two of them are on standby outside the central control room, twelve are on the bridge, and forty are in the auditorium. The rest are still patrolling the ship. ”

"Worse news!" Rozesh's voice rang out as well.

"Captain, well, and Captain Vaane, is there a model of a robot? I can analyze it. Eisen's voice came from the headset.

It's a pity, Brother Eisen, even if you and your friends are now completely matured into a complete body, what you haven't seen is just nothing you haven't seen!

Having said that, out of politeness, Yu Lian still sent the message, and then there were the distressed voices of several future great masters.

"What the hell is this?"

"There are no such combat robots in active service, I'm sure!"

"Sure enough, it's a model I've never seen before?" Vane sighed.

"Yes! Bad news of bad news! The helplessness and distress in Akinayama Hachiman's voice were about to condense into resentment.

Yes, there is no model, no source, no performance, everything is unknown, it would be creepy.

Fortunately, at this time, he heard Yu Lian say again: "Of course, there is also good news that the security guards on the Azure Princess are not all destroyed. More than 300 people were locked in the security room. They have weapons in their hands! ”

Yu Lian estimated that Brigadier General Morey was in charge of security and asked them to stand by in the security room. His subordinates only need to take the opportunity to lock the door of the security room, and they can silently deprive the Azure Princess of all security forces.

Wouldn't it be possible to do the opposite?

Vane's eyes lit up, and he felt that he finally had something to do.

I said...... You're not trying to free the security guards and take them back with them, are you? Akinayama Hachiman's voice became more and more helpless.

"I'm not that reckless. This does not ensure the safety of the hostages, the most important thing is the safety of Fei Fei! "Anyway, there are no outsiders, Yu Lian just said it bluntly.

Vane kept nodding his head on the side, feeling that this was the most human-like thing Yu Lian had ever said tonight.

"In addition, the destroyer outside is the biggest threat! His firepower probably won't be able to sink the Azure Princess right away, but if he comes with a few shots, he doesn't know how many people will die......"

Yu Lian's words caused a silence on the other side of the headset.

"So, I'm here to ask you for your opinions. Vane and I are looking for a place to hide, and when the matter is over, let the earth negotiate with Commodore Morey, and put our lives, the lives of more than 20,000 people on board, and the lives of Fifi in the hands of others. Still is...... Let's work together to find a way to solve this problem! ”

After a long while, the headset sounded again with the mournful voice of Akinayama Hachiman: "Say, what do you want to do?" ”

"I do have a little plan. However, the gamble is too big. At this time, it is necessary for everyone to check and fill in the gaps. Also, Brother Hachiman, by the way, hurry up and use your brains to make a plan B for us! ”

I don't know what Akinayama Hachiman's expression was at this time, but he was probably pushing his glasses again.
