Volume 3 The Insect War Chapter 222 Urgent Summons
When Morning Star was dragged by Shangguan Agni to Zhu Nianguo's mansion, Morning Star found that a huge room was already full of people. Don't think about it, these are all major generals and think tanks under Zhu Nianguo, and they are all very good and trustworthy.
Morning Star walked into the room with Shangguan Agni, and saw that Zhu Nianguo was discussing with his subordinates, so he didn't bother with anything, and sat down on an empty chair in the corner of the room, and started the audience with peace of mind. Although he wanted to stay out of the matter, the more he listened, the more he felt that things might not be as simple as he imagined. When Shangguan Agni came with Morning Star before, Morning Star asked Shangguan Agni what happened, but this guy didn't know anything, and only told Morning Star Zhu Nianguo to explain that he had to bring Morning Star. Shangguan Aghuo said that he had not seen Zhu Nianguo's serious expression for more than ten years, and the last time he saw it was when there was a local conflict between the Republic and the alliance at that time.
What Zhu Nianguo and his subordinate generals were talking about was about the Heavenly Mandate Sect, and Morning Star clearly heard the name of the Heavenly Mandate Sect appear in Zhu Nianguo's mouth.
Since the last time Morning Star returned from Lif-2, there has been basically no news from the Manifest Destiny Sect in this period of time, even if it is news from Alliance Agren, it is all beneficial to the human camp. Since the Manifest Destiny Sect appeared in the human eye, these fanatics have not taken a single action that is beneficial to the development of humanity, so it can be guessed that the events related to the Mandate of Heaven in the Republic will not be a good thing.
When Zhu Nianguo finished discussing with several generals, he noticed that Morning Star had arrived. Zhu Nianguo did not continue the meeting, but introduced Morning Star to everyone in the house, and the wording was very official, so that Morning Star understood that this was not all Zhu Nianguo's cronies, otherwise he would not be like this.
Morning Star returned the salute to everyone in the room one by one, and then was called to his side by Zhu Nianguo, pointed to a screen on the desktop and said, "Look at this." ”
Morningstar looked at the screen, which was a video of a conflict between a defense force somewhere in the Republic on one side and mutants on the other.
"Dead Plague!" Morningstar recognized the mutations at a glance as humans infected by the Death Plague. If it is said that in the human camp, the familiarity with the death epidemic, the morning star recognizes the second, I am afraid that there will really be no one who dares to recognize the first person for a while. Starting with Havenstar, Morningstar has gone through the Mecha Tournament, Itgleson, Tasiris Mission, and Lief II, and everywhere there are traces of Morningstar's battle with the Death Plague, and the number of mutants who died at his hands was almost tens of thousands.
"Dead plague? Is it the virus that almost wiped out all the humans on the Alliance's Hangeul planet? Zhu Nianguo asked with a frown after hearing Chenxing's words. The senior generals and officials in the room all took a breath of cool air, staring intently at Morning Star, waiting for Morning Star to continue.
Morningstar turned around and instructed the staff in charge of operating the screen to enlarge the screen, and Morningstar sighed even more after observing it. Seeing Morning Star's reaction, Zhu Nianguo knew that things seemed to be worse than he imagined, so he hurriedly asked Morning Star
。
Chenxing looked at Zhu Nianguo, and then at a room of people, the meaning in his eyes was obvious, asking Zhu Nianguo if these people were credible. Zhu Nianguo pondered for a moment, and then nodded to Morning Star, indicating that it didn't matter. After getting Zhu Nianguo's permission, Morning Star instructed the staff to project the content of the screen in front of him onto the big screen, and chose a screen to pause and let the staff on the side zoom in, and the picture in the image was an infected person who was rushing towards the soldier to shoot.
Morningstar turned to the people in the room and said, "I think everyone knows that I am an old rival of the Heavenly Mandate Sect, and I have been in contact with them since they first appeared in the human eye. I think everyone should know something about the Haiwen Star incident, and they should have all seen the infected people on Haiwen Star. Morningstar said this, reaching out and pointing on the shoulder of the infected person on the big screen, a red value-added body that seemed to have lost the protection of its skin, and was very close to the color of the muscles, attracted everyone's attention. Morningstar continued: "This location is the core location of the Death Virus, and although I don't know exactly how this thing works, one thing is certain, these proliferating tissues are equivalent to the brains of infected people, and when we destroy this proliferating tissue, the infected will die. ”
As soon as Morning Star's words fell, one of the people in the room said in an unkind tone, "You still need to say this, don't we know?" ”
Morning Star followed the prestige and saw a middle-aged man with a rich body sitting on a chair at the conference table, judging from his position, he should belong to a relatively senior officer. Morning Star didn't get angry at his unreasonableness, and the expression on his face was full of smiles, and he asked, "I don't know who this is?" ”
The middle-aged man ignored Morning Star and snorted and twisted his head to the side. Needless to say, it seems to be from the Fan family. Chenxing looked back at Zhu Nianguo, and saw that the other party was expressionless, and seemed to ignore the matter here, Chenxing instantly understood in his heart that Zhu Nianguo was letting himself deal with it.
"Some people are just too self-righteous and feel as if they know everything, but in fact they don't understand anything. I don't know this leader who interrupted me, have you ever been on the battlefield? Have you ever come face-to-face with mutants? Do you know what kind of deterrent power thousands of mutants who are not afraid of death rush at you? Looking at your size, I'm afraid it won't be enough to describe when the time comes. Morning Star's words were quite unkind, and the middle-aged man was even more furious, stood up and pointed at Morning Star and shouted, "Who do you think you are?" The High Operational Council of the Republic, how can you be allowed to come here as a traitor to point fingers? ”
Morningstar shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly and replied, "I don't think the word traitor is appropriate, I have taken ownership of Itgleeson with the approval of the Republic, do you mean to blame me for this, or do you question the decision of the Republic's higher-ups?" Also, before blaming others, let's see if you are qualified to do this, I came today but I was invited by the leader, you say I am pointing fingers? Don't you mean to say that leaders don't use people properly? ”
Morning Star will be at the center of the contradiction
Directly threw it on Zhu Nianguo, and the latter looked at the middle-aged man with a cold face and shouted: "Fan Yuxin, don't go too far, when the country is in danger, you still hold on to those careful thoughts, do you think that my attitude towards you is too gentle on you?" It's okay for you to question Morning Star, even if you ask me to kick him out, but only if you also find me someone like Morning Star who has had many experiences fighting with the Heavenly Mandate Sect! Zhu Nianguo's tone gradually changed from indifference to seriousness, and before the reprimand ended, he even slapped the table hard, so frightened that the middle-aged man called Fan Yuxin's body trembled, and together with the eyes of everyone in the room, he didn't dare to look at Zhu Nianguo.
Fan Yuxin regretted his actions a little, in recent years, the increase in the power of the Fan family has made him increasingly inflated, as the leader in the second echelon of the contemporary Fan family, Fan Xinyu has been too inflated, so inflated that he almost forgot how cruel Zhu Nianguo's methods were. Zhu Nianguo, who had just sat in that position, treated his political enemies mercilessly, and there were countless politicians of the Republic who had fallen in his hands, even the head of the Fan family did not dare to be so presumptuous in front of Zhu Nianguo. After Fan Xinyu saw Zhu Nianguo getting angry, he no longer had the courage to speak, and his head was about to be attached to his swollen belly.
Zhu Nianguo turned his head to look at Morning Star and motioned for Morning Star to continue.
"Oh yes, proliferators are the key to the inhabited." Morningstar returned to the big screen, thought for a moment and continued: "I don't know if you have noticed, what is the difference between the value-added body on this infected person on the screen and the infected person on Haven Star before? ”
The people sitting in the room are all high-ranking generals of the military of the Republic, or high-ranking officials in the political arena, these people may be blindfolded for various reasons, but it is impossible to ignore such an important detail, under the reminder of Morning Star, everyone compared the infected on the screen with the information provided by the alliance on Hywin Star in their minds, and found that as Morning Star said, there is a slight difference between the two proliferators, that is, at the edge of the proliferator, the slender tube that invades the human body is thicker. This is evidenced by the more than a dozen close-up close-ups of infected subjects that followed, under the manipulation of the staff.
Morningstar is a careful person, and although there are occasional confusions in life, the instinct of a warrior allows him to keenly capture many details on the battlefield. The difference between the proliferators was discovered by Morning Star during the battle on Liv II, and the biggest difference between the new generation of dead viruses and the previous ones is whether the brains of the infected are alive or not, but this is not obvious and very deceptive. But the value-added body did not have this concern, so Morningstar made a special point to everyone.
Most people still gave the right response to the question that Morningstar said. After the discussion gradually subsided, Morningstar once again turned on the big screen and said, "Everyone, please look here, look at the heads of these infected people, do you feel any difference from before?" ”
"It seems, it hurts a lot
Bitter. ”
"I feel like their facial expressions are involuntarily."
"Are they alive?"
"Their bodies don't seem to be controlled by their brains!"
Everyone answered Morning Star's question, and basically answered the point, Morning Star nodded with satisfaction, clapped his hands to regain everyone's attention, and said: "Everyone can see it accurately, if I want to summarize, it is that the brain is still alive, but the body is dead." As if recalling something, Morning Star's expression became a little depressed, and he took a deep breath and continued, "I have personally killed hundreds of infected people on Haiwen Star, and I know their physical condition very well. The infected on Haven are a corpse that can move, and although slashing them will make me feel a little guilty in my heart, it is quite acceptable, and I can return to normal with a little self-regulation. But later, the infected person I encountered on a mining planet in the empire is the one on the screen now. The brain of this infected person is indeed yes, if you listen carefully, you can even hear what they are saying, what can you say, it is like someone who has been forced to kill you and communicate with you, and sometimes the tears in their eyes will even make your hands and feet disobey, but you have to cut them down. After the incident is over, every time I think about it, I am full of remorse and self-blame. ”
Morning Star's words seemed to resonate with everyone, and the scene became unusually silent for a while, except for the slightest whisper.
"I thought that I had already destroyed all those death plague viruses on Liv II, and even if there were any missing, they should only be half-finished, and the Mandate of Heaven Sect needed more time for them to become sound, but I didn't expect that in such a short period of time, this virus had already invaded the Republic." From some details in the previous picture, Morning Star had already judged that this image was produced in the Republic of China, and it was precisely because of this that Shangguan Agni ran to find himself here.
"You, what did you say? Destroyed the dead plague virus? Have you been exposed to the virus before? I don't know who in the room suddenly shouted like this, Morning Star understood this person's thoughts very well, it was nothing more than afraid that he still had this terrible virus on his body, and replied with a wry smile: "Don't worry, I'm not infected, after leaving over there, I have done a very detailed examination, and there is no problem." ”
"Can you tell us about the specific situation at that time?" Someone asked again.
Morningstar shook his head and replied firmly, "That is the combat mission that I assisted the Empire on behalf of Itgleeson, and we have already agreed between us, I hope you can understand." ”
Morning Star's words stirred up a thousand waves, and as soon as the words fell, someone was heard roaring: "The Republic is suffering from such a catastrophe now, is it too much for you to say such a thing?" Do you think that you have become the master of that place now, that is, you have existed out of the republic? ”
It's such a topic again, nine times out of ten it's someone from the Fan family, Chenxing didn't bother to pay attention to these idiots, turned around and glared angrily at the person who spoke,
Slowly walked to the side and sat down, no more talking.
Although it is likely that it is still the people of the Fan family who stand up to stir up trouble, but recently, Morningstar has been distressed by problems like this. Morningstar grew up in the Republic since he was a child, and no matter what, the feelings of this hometown are difficult to give up, but now for various reasons, he can't help the Republic wholeheartedly, which makes Morningstar blame himself for a long time. With the dedication to the Republic on the one hand, and the interests of It Gleeson and its allies on the other, Morningstar really doesn't know what to do.
"Okay, shut up, do you really think Morningstar is an ordinary person? If you want to complain, you can complain, and if you want to blame, you can blame? "Morning Star never thought that the person who relieved him at this moment turned out to be Zhu Nianguo, the leader of the republic who was over seventy years old, why would he say such a thing on such an occasion? But then Zhu Nianguo's words directly explained to Morning Star.
"ItGleeson's status has been recognized by the Empire and the Alliance, and according to the agreement made many years ago, Itgleason is now an emerging state independent of the Republic, even if the Republic does not recognize it, it has no effect, two votes to one. So, put away your swagger, and standing before you is the leader of a whole new country! Morning Star can stand in front of you and help you do your analysis, what more do you want? ”
At this moment, Zhu Nianguo has fully expressed his attitude, he already sees Morning Star as a person who can be equal to him. As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the room, although the Empire and the Alliance recognized Itgleeson's status as a declaration to the entire human camp, although everyone here knew about it, but they didn't know what the reason was, everyone just didn't want to admit it.
At the moment of "Zhu ......", Chenxing was moved, and almost called out the affectionate name he had when he was alone with Zhu Nianguo. Zhu Nianguo reacted a little faster, interrupting Morning Star's words and said: "We must pay attention to this incident of the Heavenly Mandate Sect's invasion of the territory of the Republic, although the situation in the Alliance's Agelon Star Region has been initially controlled, but according to the news from over there, the entire Agelon Star Region has been completely destroyed, and if we want to rebuild it, it will inevitably be a huge consumption." As Morning Star said earlier, there was also an incident of the Mandate of Heaven Sect's activities in the empire not long ago, which was likely to be premeditated and planned to encroach on the human camp. So, please put aside your preconceptions, work together, and stop wasting energy on those trivial personal grievances! ”
Zhu Nianguo's words have been said very explicitly, and those who know a little bit about Morning Star and the Fan family will understand that Zhu Nianguo is already on Morning Star's side, so there are several people in today's meeting who cast an unusually unfriendly look at Morning Star before leaving.
The people in me quickly left clean, although many people saw that Morning Star was left behind by Zhu Nianguo and wanted to spy on the follow-up conversation between the two, but thinking of the scene once Zhu Nianguo got angry, they felt a chill down their spines and gave up this idea.
Shangguan Agni came in from outside the door, nodded slightly to Zhu Nianguo and Morning Star, and then retreated again
Go out.
"Uncle Zhu, thank you so much for helping me out just now." Morning Star expressed his gratitude to Zhu Nianguo, after all, in the situation just now, if Zhu Nianguo did not stand up and speak for himself, the result would likely become out of control.
The expression on Zhu Nianguo's face was no longer as serious as it was in the previous meeting, and when there were no outsiders, he became that kind elder again. Hearing Chenxing's words, Zhu Nianguo said with a smile: "It's not okay if I don't help you out of the siege, if you 'notorious' kid is really forced to have no way out, I'm really afraid that you will directly demolish me here!" ”
"How could that be!"
