Chapter 13: The Beginning of the Turmoil
It can be said that in just one year, Hal has reached heights that many people cannot reach in a lifetime. Such an achievement, even Liu Yiyi and Deli, who watched Xiao Har's growth, felt very incredible, and finally blamed Xiao Har's achievements on staying with Wen Zhong for too long.
The cause of the incident can probably start half a month ago, just before a certain awards ceremony is about to start. As a special invitation plus nomination and candidate this time, Xiao Hal naturally received countless attention. But on the eve of the award ceremony, little Hal disappeared.
The video Deli brings to Moon Joong shows how it all happened, around the middle of the night, when little Hal came out of his residence alone. According to the assistant's description, Hal Jr. told the crowd not to follow him, and he had to go for a run on his own. However, as little Hal passed through the park, he was kidnapped by a group of people.
This process was monitored by the Sky Eye, which is located near the park. Deli then tracked down the group of kidnappers and eventually found that these guys had actually brought Hal Jr. to the airport.
On the other end, the video shows that Xiao Hal did not resist at all, so he was held in the middle by this group of people, and passed through the security channel as usual, and finally boarded the transport ship to the interstellar airport outside the main star of Aries. After that, with Deli's ability, he could no longer find out the whereabouts of Hal Jr.
The whereabouts of the spaceship carrying Hal Jr. are unknown, and the spaceship's permission codes and flight files are gone. There was nothing left, as if the ship had never been built and had ever appeared. Deli even used dark means to search for the whereabouts of the ship, but the person who erased these records was so powerful that Deli couldn't find any news about Little Hal, as if... Little Hal completely evaporated from the world.
On the other hand, as Xiao Hal's guardian and manager, Liu Yiyi cracked Xiao Hal's email and account information, and it was empty, and there was nothing left. Obviously, the captors of Little Hal had even thought of this, and cleaned them up without leaving even a trace.
Liu Yiyi's only harvest is a brand.
"Brand?" Wen Zhong asked suspiciously, frowning.
The screen flashed again, and a picture appeared in front of Wen Zhong. It was a shield with an eagle on it that was about to fly.
This is the only gain from Deli and Liu Yiyi's search for more than half a month. But this is not the only thing that has happened in the past half a month, another thing has nothing to do with Wen Zhong at all, but for the entire federation, it is a big event - the federation is in turmoil!
Almost on the third day of Hal's disappearance, a riot broke out at the coordinates of the southwestern star field (Y2115674, X89123). The thirteen planets in the area lost contact with the center of the Federation for two days, and two days later a new rebel army took over the thirteen planets at the coordinates and issued a declaration of independence for the entire territory of the Federation.
Naturally, this rebel force, claiming to be a pioneer of liberation, caught the attention of the Federation, which sent the nearby Seventh Fleet and the Third Einsatzgruppen to wipe out the stupid rebels.
However, the results of the battle surprised everyone, including one battleship, thirteen battlecruisers, fifty-six gunboats, various warplanes and mecha groups, including the Seventh Fleet, all of them were captured. The 3rd Einsatzgruppen only had time to send back the news before contact was completely lost. Less than 7 percent of the war was lost, but 93 percent of the prisoners of war were killed.
In other words, the army that went to exterminate the rebels almost completely surrendered without firing a single shot. The bewildered Federal War Department discovered that something was wrong, but because the war zone was severely shielded, they had no idea what was going on, so they could only send the closer Sixth, Tenth, and Eleventh Fleets to join forces to eliminate the rebels.
In order to prevent further accidents, the three fleets kept a certain distance in a triangular offensive pattern, stepped into the war zone and kept in touch with the federal military headquarters at all times. But they still failed, this rebel force called the Liberation Pioneer was absolutely eccentric, and in the short two days that the military headquarters had not yet reacted, it quickly devoured the three fleets that came to encircle and suppress.
According to the fleet's final report, it was all the captured ships of the Third Fleet that met them, but the battle damage was also pitiful. The vast majority of warships were completely seized control of the battleships in the moment before they could react. The main guns were turned off, the engines were locked, the energy was cut off, and all the battleships were like cold metal coffins floating in the universe, without any ability to resist.
After this news was transmitted, the Eleventh Fleet, which was in the rear, also completely lost contact. Then, because the nearby federal military forces were completely wiped out, a vacuum was formed, and soon the seventeen nearby planets were also occupied by the rebels. At this point, the news of civil unrest in the Federation was completely spread.
By the time the news reached the main star of Aries, it was already half a month later. In two weeks, an inexplicable rebel army seized nearly one-tenth of the territory of the Federation, which is undoubtedly shocking news for everyone in the Federation. In comparison, the disappearance of a small star is not so important.
The result was quite normal, while all the people under the Union were worried about the rebels, Deli received images from the rebels. The sign of the rebels is obvious, and it is because of this sign that Deli and Liu Yiyi found Wen Zhong all the way here. The emblem of the rebels is a shield on which an eagle flutters its wings.
Wen Zhong was silent for a while, and silently took off his glasses, revealing red pupils that had no focus at all.
Seeing this scene, Liu Yiyi couldn't help covering her mouth and asked in a lost voice, "Wen Zhong, your eyes..."
Wen Zhong didn't answer her, but looked at Deli and said, "So you think that Xiao Hal's disappearance was taken by this group of rebels?" It's just that I don't understand, why did the rebels take little Hal, and what exactly is the connection between them? ”
Deli couldn't answer a word at this time, so he could only sit there and shake his head helplessly.
Wen Zhong continued: "The appearance of the rebels is short-lived, and according to common sense, they will not pose a threat to your consortium. But the rebels are powerful and strange, and they are clearly far more powerful than you might expect. If I'm not mistaken, you must have lost two or three waves of people, and you can't find anyone willing to go deep into the rebels, so you think of looking for me, right?
I don't know what happened to you in the five years I've been away, but... With my eyes now blind, do you think I'll be able to bring little Hal back? ”
Deli's face turned pale for a while, and it was obvious that Wen Zhong had said something, and he couldn't answer again for a while.
Although Wen Zhong couldn't see the expressions on the faces of the two people, he could clearly feel the disappointment of the two people.
A familiar phrase appeared...
That's when ...
