Chapter 679: After the Funeral

An hour later, the battlefield was cleaned up. The bodies of the war dead were loaded onto mechs and vehicles and transported back to the station. Due to the lack of necessary preservation conditions, and the fact that they did not want to be desecrated by mutant rats, bugs, etc., the Dreadnought team disposed of it by cremating the body and burying the ashes. In order not to overly affect the lives of the survivors, the funeral was held on the night of the funeral and was highly rustic and streamlined.

At the funeral of Abbot Lin Zaishan, he shouted in front of more than 2,000 members of the Dreadnought team: "The dead are not dead, they are still alive in our hearts." With their fearlessness and sacrifice, they have given us a chance to survive and defended the hope and dignity of humanity. We will remember them forever and ever. Let us now bow down and observe a minute of silence for them with great respect and great sorrow. ”

After a moment of silence, Lin Zaishan continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, in today's world, the external environment has undergone fundamental changes, and the core force of survival competition has shifted from science and technology to star soul knowledge and technology. Whoever can master more, deeper, and better knowledge and technology of the Star Soul will dominate the end times. The threats and competitors to our post-apocalyptic survival are not only those human forces that contradict our beliefs, but also zombies, mutant beasts, zergs, natural disasters, star soul herders, and even other mysterious opponents. Any of these threats are enough to destroy humanity, and as we enter the deep end times, some of them become more serious and become butcher's knives hanging over our heads. ”

Lin Zaishan's eyes swept over everyone one by one as he spoke, and he saw Wang Ziqiang, Feifeng, Sima Te, Pig-headed Zhengzong Brothers, Brother Qiang and other personnel who stayed at the garrison in this battle due to lack of strong equipment, as well as logistics and civilian personnel such as Third Grandma and Qu Youyou, as well as guests who came to attend the funeral, such as Friedch, Schwarronsen and Li Wenxiu.

"We have to change our mindset, adjust our perception of the world, and open our minds to explore and discover uncharted territory. Spare no effort to delve into the knowledge and technology of the Star Soul, only in this way can it be possible to find a place in this cruel apocalypse. Otherwise, in a matter of months, or a few years, we will be wiped out and eliminated by terrible forces. ”

Everyone couldn't help but be attracted by Lin Zaishan's words and listened attentively. They are more or less aware of the problems and possibilities that Lin Zaishan said, but they lack the guidance of a leader and professional who is proficient in this way. Correspondingly, the dreadnought team has faith, discipline, organization, talent, and prestige, but its comprehensive strength is only second-rate even in China, inferior to Midtown and Sanctuary; Based on their own conditions, characteristics, and external environment, the Dreadnought team has developed many tactics, technologies, and products with high practical value, but it has never been able to reverse its disadvantage in the face of the Zerg army.

Lin Zaishan's return not only established the backbone and brought about a huge idol effect, but also made up for the most critical and fatal deficiencies and gaps in the Dreadnought team in terms of knowledge and technology.

"I hereby solemnly promise that I will never again let the brothers and sisters of the Dreadnought be passively beaten in the face of the threat of the end times. We must seize the commanding heights of astrological soul knowledge and technology, and lead the process and footsteps of mankind out of the end times! We will not only save and unite all the good survivors and intelligent lives in China, but also in the world, and possibly even the entire universe in the future, and work together to create a glorious future! ”

Lin did not intentionally exert any special abilities during his speech, but it detonated the enthusiasm of the attendees unprecedentedly. Everyone excitedly raised their arms and shouted in unison, "Create the future".

After the funeral, the guests were accommodated and an emergency meeting was held. The first thing at the meeting, Sun Zhenghong announced the return of Lin Zaishan and handed over the supreme command of the Dreadnought team on the spot.

Lin Zaishan didn't have the time and mind to play any "three resignations and three invitations" scenes, so he took office immediately.

The first thing he did immediately after taking office was to upgrade and update the intimacy control system of the Dreadnought team, Mr. Hayashi, and replace the original AI with the latest version of SAI. The current Lin Fuzi uses a lot of star soul technology, using many programmed low-level star souls as energy sources and components, which can freely and seamlessly integrate with various technological products and dominate the latter, but it is faster and more powerful than the latter.

The original Lin Fuzi mainly relied on basic physical, chemical, and electronic signals to perceive and monitor the environment, but now Lin Fuzi realizes it with the help of the programmed star soul, which can fully integrate the advantages of machines and life and surpass the two. The original Lin Fuzi manipulated electronics and machinery to perform actions, but now Lin Fuzi can control almost all foreign objects that humans can control through the Star Soul, and release the ability like a supernatural person.

The Alien has only one dominant Star Soul as the carrier and operating system of his life, while Lin Fuzi can exist and dominate multiple Star Soul Primordial Bodies at the same time; The use of abilities by the supernatural is limited by the state of the individual star soul, and the process of invoking the energy, code, and ability of the individual is very limited, while Lin Fuzi is unlimited.

Lin Fuzi also has to abide by the laws of energy overload, but its overload threshold is much higher than that of ordinary abilities. In a sense, as long as there is a continuous supply of star souls, Lin Fuzi will never be tired and exhausted. As the founder of Lin Fuzi, Lin Zaishan has accommodated no less than 50,000 low-level star souls in his star soul world. At present, he has formulated dozens of programmed low-level Star Soul Primordial Bodies for Lin Fuzi at the Dreadnought Clan's station as components for the control system (hereinafter referred to as Star Soul Elements), and this number will increase to thousands in the near future. If you overcome some more theoretical and technical levels, the combined force of these Star Soul Elements can completely surpass the strongest existence known to Earth at present, the Star Soul Shepherd. At that time, as long as there are enough weapons and tools, as long as Lin Fuzi alone is enough to ensure absolute safety within a radius of several kilometers around.

Not all the upgrade and update work needs to be done by Lin Zaishan himself, and some simple and repetitive work can be completed by Lin Fuzi by himself. So, during the meeting, the intelligent control system of the Dreadnought was already evolving itself at a rate that no one could have imagined.

//////

The second task assigned by Lin Zaishan is to listen to the reports of various units and understand the current situation of the Dreadnought Clan, Shencheng and even Huaxia.

"At present, there are about 30,000 survivors in Shencheng, including more than 2,000 of our dreadnought team." Sun Zhenghong said: "During your absence, we did not blindly expand the scale, but selected the best of the best, focusing on the training and improvement of existing members. This is a big part of why our Dreadnought team is able to maintain its strength and cohesion. ”

"What about Midtown and other settlements?" Lin Zaishan asked. He had read a lot of information from Lin Fuzi's database, but he still believed that human memories and feelings were irreplaceable.

"The power of Zhongcheng is much stronger than that of Shencheng. They now have more than 50,000 survivors, and their infrastructure, industrial system, and technical equipment are more solid and developed than those of Shencheng. ”

"So He Xiaotian did a good job."

"Captain Lin, don't you know, the current Midtown is no longer He Xiaotian alone. Soon after your disappearance, a large number of survivors were relocated from the capital, led by Huo Qiankun. The current Zhongcheng is He Xiaotian and Huo Qiankun, who are fighting openly and secretly, and are equally divided. ”

"Oh? It turns out that there are so many survivors in the capital, thank God! Lin Zaishan was not interested in the power struggle of He Xiaotian and others, and he cared more about the Chinese survivors.

"Xiao Lin, the dispute between He Xiaotian and Huo Qiankun is not purely a matter for the two of them, it is related to the future and fate of the citizens of Zhongcheng City and even the entire Chinese survivors, and it is also closely related to our dreadnought team." Wu Chaoqun reminded.

"That's a good point." Lin Zaishan is so smart, he immediately made up his brain and figured out a lot of truths. "What kind of person is this Huo Qiankun?"

"None of us have seen it with our own eyes." Sun Zhenghong replied: "I only occasionally listen to Principal Wang when I am on a remote call. President Wang said that Huo Qiankun is ambitious, knows how to make good use of people, has strong affinity, and has a strong leadership style. In addition, he is the uncle of the beautiful journalist Li Yan. ”

"So, Huo Qiankun is enough to be called He Xiaotian's strong competitor?"

"According to the information revealed by Principal Wang, He Xiaotian was indeed a little anxious by Huo Qiankun."

"How's Anne doing now?" Lin Zaishan asked with concern.

He Annie is a woman who once openly went in and out with Lin Zaishan, and in the eyes of the Dreadnought team and many others, she is a veritable woman of Lin Zaishan and the sister-in-law of the Dreadnought team. At least the members of the Dreadnought have always been concerned about her movements.

"Captain, I thought you didn't want to mention it." Zhiyang Yang picked up the conversation, "Since you disappeared last time, Miss He has mobilized all resources and strength to search for you everywhere at any cost. She's pretty much everywhere you can possibly go. ”

Lin Zaishan knew that He Annie must have reacted in this way, and sighed, "Let her suffer." ”

"Miss He didn't care about anything else, and searched for you day and night for 3 whole months; But it still didn't work, so she ......"

"What's wrong with her?" Lin Zaishan saw that Zhiyang's tone was different, and he couldn't help but start worrying about what happened to Annie He.

"She never left the house again. In the last year or so, Ms. Ho has never appeared in public. ”

"Is she okay then?" Lin Zaishan couldn't help but worry about whether He Annie was seriously ill.

"It should be fine." Zhiyang Yang is not so sure.

"Miss He, everyone should be fine." Lan Yan interjected, "Two months ago, Master Mu sent a message back, saying that Miss He had personally visited him after he arrived in Midtown, and invited him to come to report the news of Captain Bulin. ”

"Oh?" Lin Zaishan asked with interest, "Yes, since you are guarding Master Mu, you should always be able to predict some news about me, right?" ”

Lan Yan shook her head, "Master Mu said that he didn't know why, every time he wanted to predict something related to you, he would be blocked by a powerful force. If he forcibly predicts, he will also be hurt. His optic nerve damage and headaches are related to the accidents that Captain Lin predicted several times after your disappearance. ”

"I see." Lin Zaishan suddenly remembered something new and exclaimed.

Everyone was surprised when they heard this, in their minds, Lin Zaishan's current strength was extremely close to that of a god, could there be anything else that could scare him?

"I've found two serious bugs." Lin Zaishan said anxiously: "First, I calculated that the time since I last disappeared from today is less than a year according to my memory, and the time that everyone reported is nearly two years. There is a large time deviation in this. I can basically find a basis for the explanation—it has to do with what happened to me at sea; However, I need to re-adjust the time parameters. I'm more worried about the second issue. ”

"What's the problem, Captain Lin?"

"Before I left the rice country, I was worried about the safety of my compatriots in China, so I specially asked the master of the sky color with the strength of a seventh-level star soul to come over first. But I haven't seen him yet, and he hasn't contacted me; And in the suburban battle that just took place, the master of empty color did not appear. I'm worried that something has happened to him. ”

"A seventh-level Star Soul powerhouse, even a Star Soul Shepherd can't help it, how can something happen?"

"There are still many terrifying beings on our planet, and if the Master of Empty Color neglects to take precautions, it may not be impossible to have an accident."

"Could it be that he went to Midtown? Can't take care of Shencheng and the Dreadnought team? You know, due to the interference of sparrow insects recently, the communication between the two cities is not smooth. ”

Lin Zaishan nodded, "I hope so." Either way, I'm going to be going to Midtown in the near future. As I have just surveyed, the terrain of Shencheng is not conducive to long-term holding. If the Zerg send out an army of millions, we will definitely not be able to compete. In addition, the underground structure of Shencheng has been severely damaged by mutant rats and excavator bugs. If there is a little more geological disaster, we will lose a lot. ”

"If Shencheng can't stay any longer, maybe the only way out for us is to go to Midtown." Sun Zhenghong said: "But this matter is not trivial, we still have to communicate with everyone before making a decision." Captain, you must know that our whereabouts are closely related to the vital interests of all the forces in Shencheng. ”

Lin Zaishan nodded, "I'll arrange a third task below: I plan to make the strength of every member of the Dreadnought team soar a lot in a week or so, and popularize the basic knowledge and primary skills of the Star Soul in the whole team." ”

Everyone was excited when they heard this, and those members who had already touched the threshold of the mystery of the Star Soul were even more excited.

"Captain, when does it start?" Du Ziming asked loudly.

"Start now."

"Can I come first?" Du Ziming didn't care about his face and demeanor at this time.

Lin Zaishan said: "The upgrading of the star soul is not about installing computer software, this work not only involves the dignity and personality of life, but also has a high risk. If not, the subject will be turned into a monster. Lao Du, do you still want to compete for the first place? ”

"Absolutely!" Du Ziming really saw the changes in Wu Chaoqun, and he speculated that Lin Zaishan would never risk his brother if he was not sure.

"Okay, without further ado, do it now! Lao Du, follow me back to the room, oh no, go to the infirmary and do a big job! ”
