Chapter 16 Tracing the Roots
The past 72 hours on the Covenant space station have been extremely difficult for the Stygian Sea. During this period, he only took a few naps, and spent the rest of his time contacting military leaders of other countries or keeping track of the status of his troops in the five major theaters. From beginning to end, he never left the central command room for half a step.
Looking back at the time of the accident, although he had been a little prepared, when the disaster really came, he still seemed a little flustered and unable to respond. After all, this is a global catastrophe, and now that I think about it, I think it's terrifying. What used to be the surface of the earth was brightly lit has now become dim, and all that remains is the raging fires that have ignited in some cities. This "dream builder", no matter who he is, his predictions are a little too accurate.
Safety hazards were created decades ago, but when humans found out, they were no longer equipped to deal with them. The moon and Mars bases, it seems, are also being built a little late.
The attack happened so suddenly, so planned, that the beast cleverly escaped the eyes of human technology, reorganized its team under the haze, and launched a very targeted attack at the same time. The Sea of Stygian even felt that it was not fighting a group of beasts, but a much stronger and wiser human army.
Just a few hours ago, Mi and Su, both members of the Star Alliance Federation, called and sent their latest findings. General Neville of the United States told the Underworld Sea that after the latest research, it was found that this disaster should not have happened in the time and space where they were, but due to the sudden spatial chaos caused by the chaos of time and space, so their defenselessness was understandable.
Time and space are out of order, but we've been banning time travel for many years, how can it cause parallel time and space to be chaotic? Unless...... Thinking of this, Shenchen Hai suddenly shuddered.
Long Xingyi!
Could it be that this young man in the 21st century unintentionally traveled through time and space, which led to the confusion of time and space? But the confusion of time and space is generally caused by traveling to the past, and his "future journey" did not expect to cause such a big disaster?
"Is there an academician of the Academy of Sciences in Edu, where Long Xingyi is located, who has made great achievements in the theory of time and space travel?" Thinking of this, Shenchen Hai suddenly asked.
Bai Duchuan beside him nodded, "Murong Shaokang, a very young and promising academician, is well-known in their academic circles. ”
"Is he still alive? Can you call him to come to us and help investigate the cause of the accident? Hades asked.
At this time, a young staff officer beside Shenchenhai walked up, as if he had been waiting for a long time, and couldn't wait to say: "Among the citizens rescued from Nantong City, there is indeed a person named Murong Shaokang, who has just entrusted the crew to contact us and say that there is important information to share with us." ”
Shenchenhai turned around excitedly and asked, "When?" ”
"Shortly after you spoke to Commander Lei Ling." The staff officer replied.
Shen Chenhai said: "When they get to the ground command center, let Murong Shaokang and the ground staff take the plane to come to me together......" Speaking of this, he thought for a while, and added: "Is that Long Xingyi also with them?" Let Lei Ling bring Long Xingyi here, and Murong Shaokang will take another spaceship, and I will come alone. ”
"You also think...... This matter is related to Long Xingyi's time travel? The polite Bai Duchuan asked.
The Stygian Sea stared at the large screen in front of him, which showed the situation of the troops on the surface of the earth responding to the battle and evacuating. It has been nearly three days since the outbreak of the war, but the situation is still very fierce, and our army is retreating one after another.
"Everything...... We have to wait for the evidence to make a conclusion. Stygian said.
The young staff officer stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Commander-in-chief, you haven't rested for more than 20 hours, and now the evacuation plan is going smoothly, and the troops that are fighting are about to leave the war zone, or ...... Would you like to take a break first? ”
Bai Duchuan also said on the other side: "Yes, you are no longer the young man you were thirty years ago, you can't stand it if you go on like this!" Besides, I heard that Yin Zhendong is also on Lei Ling's spaceship, and you may have to meet him later. ”
When Shenchen Hai heard this name, it was as if he had a headache, and his expression became very painful, "Alas! The old guy...... Back then, his brother Yin Zhenbei and Lei Ling's father Lei Zhengguang both died in the line of duty, and he hated me from then on. Come on, I'll go lie down for a while...... They arrived and called me. ”
Stygian walked to a small room in the corner of the command room, where there was a sleep sac that helped him quickly fall into a deep sleep. Hades Hai dragged his tired body into the sleep sac, and in less than two seconds, he began to fall asleep.
It didn't take long for a light to light up, the sleep sac slowly opened, and in a trance, I heard someone shouting in my ear: "Commander...... Commander? ”
Shenchenhai opened his tired sleepy eyes, and it was the young staff officer who woke him up just now, Long Haoqian.
"How long did I sleep?" Shen Chenhai asked with his left hand, rubbing his wrinkled forehead.
"An hour." Long Haoqian replied, "Lei Ling, they arrived at the ground command center. ”
"Okay, I'll go talk to him. On Murong Shaokang's side, it was carried out as planned. As a high-ranking general, Shenchen Hai didn't waste too much time, and felt more conscious, so he stood up and returned to the command room.
After talking to Lei Ling and the others, Shenchenhai sat on the chair in the center of the command room, supervising the evacuation of the ground spaceship, and at the same time thinking about the next plan in his heart.
Suddenly, on the satellite image, a blue light lit up from the haze. Not good! The sea sprang up from his chair.
A huge ball of light ejected from the haze and slashed through a long arc, striking a spaceship on the ground. The spaceship exploded and caught fire in an instant, falling from mid-air.
"What about the ground forces?" Hades asked anxiously.
"Ground Forces...... It's all evacuated, it's all on the ship. A staff member replied back.
"Robot troops! Can it be called? ”
"The ground robot unit is controlled by ground shortwave communications, and without the transfer of ground troops, we need time. And...... According to security protocols, the robot does not have access to the command center to operate large artillery. ”
"Bullshit Security Protocol ......" Hasty Hai scolded in a low voice and continued: "That's fast! All out! ”
Bai Duchuan looked at everything on the screen, and also looked flustered, and said beside the Stygian Sea: "I'm afraid...... It's too late. ”
"Why!" The Immortal Sea, which has always been calm, has already jumped like thunder at this moment, "Why does the fierce beast appear several times, but the satellite can't see it!" ”
Bai Duchuan sighed, "Without the threat of humans, coupled with biological pollution, the fierce beasts on the earth are mutating day by day every day. I don't know when they have been able to hide under the haze and not be detected by biometrics. ”
Nervousness, fear, anger, multiple emotions intertwined, Shenchenhai's neck twitched slightly, his muscles spasmed, and even his entire head trembled a little. He sat back in his chair silently, and after a long pause, he popped out four words: "Count casualties." ”
Long Haoqian stepped forward and reported to the Underworld Sea: "There is a time interval between the attacks of the Thunder Beast, but fortunately, there are not many of them. Nearly half of the spacecraft was lost, and the spacecraft of Feng Yu, the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Theater, and the commander-in-chief of the Northern Theater, Yu Ming, had been safely evacuated. Huo Yi in the Western Theater has been confirmed dead, and Lei Ling and Murong Shaokang's spaceships have crashed. Lei Ling's spaceship signal disappeared at the edge of the desert, and Murong Shaokang's spaceship's communication system could still be used, but it was impossible to contact the other party's personnel. ”
"Find a way to contact Lei Ling's spaceship, and if the internal communication fails, try other methods, such as intercepting civilian PC signals. If they are still alive, let them go to rescue Murong Shaokang. Search and rescue ships are ready to go at any time. "The Immortal Sea issued a series of instructions.
At this time, Bai Duchuan, who didn't know where to go just now, suddenly walked up and whispered in the ear of Shenchenhai: "There is something looking for us over there in the rice country." ”
"What's the matter?" In the tone of the Stygian Sea, there was obviously a kind of impatience of "Don't you think I'm messy enough".
Bai Duchuan thought for a while, but still said: "They have already found out the changes in the quantum field when Long Xingyi crossed, and suspect that his crossing is the root of this 'Judgment Day', and ask us to arrest Long Xingyi and hand it over to the Star Alliance Federal Court for disposal." ”
"Long Xingyi, this kid, I look pretty good." A young man who was born more than a hundred years earlier than him called a child, and he didn't know what his mood was. Bai Duchuan didn't speak, and nodded silently in his ear in agreement.
"Tell them that we investigated when the incident just happened, and Long Xingyi's crossing was not an active crossing, and he was also a victim of it. Even if 'Judgment Day' was caused by his crossing, I wouldn't have arrested him as a criminal. I'm not going to hold an innocent passenger accountable for a car that caused a major accident. Besides......" Shenchenhai frowned, turned his head, and looked at Bai Duchuan with an innocent face, "Did they understand the investigation?" What evidence is there that his crossing was the cause? It's not enough to convict people just by 'guessing' and 'doubting'! ”
Bai Duchuan said with understanding: "I'll go and reply to them, let them investigate and collect evidence in depth, without evidence, don't jump to conclusions!" I will also pay close attention to the investigation here, and I must find out the root cause of the 'Judgment Day' and Long Xingyi's crossing! ”
"Well...... "Shenchenhai and Bai Duchuan have also been old friends for many years, and he knows that Bai Duchuan is completely on the same front with him at this moment, and he doesn't need to say anything more, Bai Duchuan will do everything according to his wishes.
"Commander-in-Chief!" Long Haoqian ran up again excitedly, "I've got in touch!" Long Xingyi's PC! ”
I don't know why, Shenchen Hai and Bai Duchuan looked at each other and smiled, very mysterious. "Good! Help me get on the screen and I'm talking to him. Styx finally breathed a sigh of relief and said.
