Chapter 10: Wood Show in the Forest
After Beichen's many lessons, Corey finally relented and apologized unwillingly. Beichen didn't care anymore and let him go back to Gullit.
Gurlitt thanked Beichen vigorously, for him, Corey was just a few slaps, which was already the best result.
Corey, on the other hand, did not say a word since, just kept his head down, and no one could see it, and in his angry eyes, there was endless resentment.
This happened, Beichen's good mood was also swept away, and he simply comforted everyone a few words and left.
What no one knew was that Beichen, who walked out of the basement calmly, was thinking about another thing in his heart.
"When I shot at Corey just now, I obviously didn't suffer a threat to my life, so why could I use that move?"
When he dealt with Corey just now, others couldn't see him make a move at all, precisely because he entered that state.
His so-called move, naturally is the kind of trick that seems to slow down time, this is the second time he clearly feels that kind of force, this experience, finally let him determine one thing, at that moment, it is indeed his reflexes, dynamic vision, metabolism, etc., have exerted an extraordinary speed, at the same time, the speed of brain operation has also broken through the limit, so he can feel that the time around him has slowed down.
He had seen a movie preserved from the Common Era, called "Spider-Man", and the Spider-Man in it had this ability.
"Let's call this a 'supernatural reaction' for the time being."
"But this trick doesn't work from time to time, and in a real battle, you still can't rely on this means." Beichen sighed.
……
The other side of the entrance to the wormhole.
This is a cosmic space extremely far away from Earth, where stars are scarce and most of the planets are dark.
Around the wormhole, there are dense insect-shaped spaceships floating, and there are even huge transport ships that look like a large beetle but contain countless invisible mantis in their bodies. It's just that such a transport ship cannot fly under the gravity of the earth, which does not pass through the wormhole. Just open a hatch every now and then, and let the invisible mantis inside fly towards the entrance of the wormhole.
The Zerg army, almost all the worm-type spaceships gathered here, but they didn't dare to pass through the wormholes on a large scale, but they just walked in pairs and threes, slowly invading one by one.
After all, the first two nuclear strikes of mankind caused heavy losses to their spacecraft.
Suddenly, the dense swarm slowly gave way to a passage, and in the distance, a dark shadow gradually floated in.
It is a strange insect with a body length of 8 meters, which looks a bit like a spider, but has three protrusions on its back, its head is an irregular triangle, and its two compound eyes have a strange purple light.
The insects seemed to be afraid of it, and when they saw it approaching, they moved out of the way. What's even more strange is that everywhere it passes, all the insects within a radius of three thousand meters fall to the ground unconscious as if they were drunk, and when it is far away, it gradually recovers and becomes vigorous again.
It slowly flew towards the entrance of the wormhole, and its body gradually disappeared into the void like an invisible praying mantis.
……
Command room on the Yadis campus.
Beichen sat down in his chair tiredly, panting. Next to him sat Li Tian, who also looked tired.
Half a month has passed since the first day of the alien invasion, and in this half month, the super soldiers and the garrison troops have resisted a total of sixteen waves of enemy attacks.
And the teachers and students of the school have been hiding in the basement all the time. The basement of Yadis Elite School is designed according to the standard doomsday hideout, with toilets, kitchens, showers, garbage transportation pipes and other facilities. I'm not worried that I won't be able to live there.
It's just that this kind of day of not seeing the light of day is really difficult.
Of course, compared to the situation of the teachers and students, the life of the combatants is even more difficult, almost every day they have to be born and die, not to mention the ordinary soldiers of the garrison troops, even the super soldiers under Beichen, who are also beginning to show fatigue.
Moreover, the bugs seem to have discovered the weakness of humans, that is, the vision at night is too poor, and they not only destroyed the power plant of Yadis City, but also attacked the night in the following waves. Fortunately, the power generation facilities of Yadis School are built deep underground, and the electrical circuit facilities are also heavily guarded, so there is no need to worry about the power outage of the school.
However, night is indeed not suitable for human combat, even if the school is brightly lit, after all, it is different from daytime, the vision is affected, and the night is the dormant time of human beings, fighting at night will be more tiring.
There are also more and more casualties among the Super Soldiers. So far, 22 members of the team have been killed.
The situation of the other eleven elite schools is similar to that of Yadis, and the super soldiers have all begun to suffer casualties one after another.
The war in the Arctic battlefield is still ongoing, but humanity is also losing ground and can only narrow the defensive circle to compete with extraterrestrial life.
In contrast, the attacks of the large beetle swarms and spaceship groups outside the major city walls are much less, after all, these two types of insects cannot be invisible, and the target is too large, and they are forced by the nuclear strike of the human race, so they can only support a small amount, so they do not dare to easily fight and consume.
In the tactical analysis department of the United Nations in the new century, all the staff members are also working overtime, and the tactical analysis reports are stacked on top of each other every day. It is also thanks to them that humanity is able to implement various countermeasures against the enemy's various attacks.
"Team North, there's a letter from you." A detachment leader walked in with an envelope in his hand.
Beichen nodded, stretched out his hand to take the envelope, and the team leader saluted and retreated in time.
"Dr. Gao?" There was no official signature on the envelope, only an English letter G, which was strangely written and looked like a Q.
Because of this special handwriting, Beichen knows who the person who sent the letter is, that is, the person who created himself, and the person in charge of the "perfect plan", Gao Congwen.
Gao Congwen can be said to be the first person he saw when he opened his eyes after Beichen was born. He still clearly remembered that Gao Congwen stroked his head at that time, his eyes were full of love, and he said the first sentence to him: "Child, your name is Beichen, do you like this name?" ”
Gao Congwen and Beichen have a special kind of daring, not father and son, but better than father and son. During that time in the institute, it can be said that it is the most memorable day of Beichen. Beichen is different from other super soldiers, other super soldiers, loyalty to the three federations, and the mission they shoulder, are directly engraved in their minds through high-tech means.
Beichen didn't, Beichen was taught by Gao Congwen himself, and Gao Congwen took the trouble to tell him word by word every day. Gao Congwen told him that everyone in the world is equal, whether it is an official or a citizen, whether it is a super soldier or an ordinary person, there is no distinction between high and low, but the social division of labor is different.
Gao Congwen's life, the only belief is peace, he believes that everyone has the obligation to maintain peace, the strong should protect the weak, the weak should also love the strong, everyone should be kind to others, and protect themselves at the same time. If anyone breaks the peace, he must be stopped.
Beichen was deeply influenced by him, and it can be said that Beichen is the shadow of Gao Congwen. In his heart, he has long regarded Gao Congwen as his father.
Of course, these Gao Congwen did not report to their superiors, and the three federations only thought that Beichen, like other super soldiers, had been imprinted with high-tech brains.
"I haven't seen Dr. Gao for 5 years." Beichen sighed secretly and hurriedly opened the envelope.
Gao Congwen's letter was very long, he first affirmed Beichen's heroic battle, then revealed some research data on alien remains to Beichen, and then, some miscellaneous trivia, recounted his own recent situation.
At the end, however, the content of the letter begins to become serious.
"There is an old saying in the Federation of Asia: the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. Why do I say this? Because the ability you have shown is too powerful, first, you have made the alien creatures feel threatened, they will definitely find ways to get rid of you, you must be careful in the future, and do not show it easily until the critical moment. Second, the top brass of the three federations have also noticed you, and some people have expressed concerns about your ability. You should understand what I mean, right? If you let them know that you are not 'imprinted' by me, you will be in danger. Remember what I said to you before? A person must know how to protect others as well as himself. I hope you understand what I mean by that. By the way, after reading this letter, remember to destroy it. ”
After reading the letter, Beichen was very surprised, if it wasn't for Gao Congwen who sent a letter to remind him, he would never have thought of this.
"Looks like I'm going to have to be careful." Beichen crumpled the letter paper into a paper ball, rubbed his hands, and immediately turned into powder.
……
Over the North Pole, an invisible giant bug slowly flew out of the wormhole, its 8-meter-long body, a bit like a spider, and an irregular triangular head.
Its energy was all converging at this time, and even the purple light in its compound eyes became extremely dim. Around it, dense stealth praying mantis flies, surrounding it impenetrable and preventing human ground-to-air weapons from hitting it.
This insect floats slowly, and if anyone can see the route of this insect, they will find that its destination is actually the base of the United Nations General Military Region in the New Century.
However, humanity is not aware of this. Beichen threw himself in the command room and analyzed the tactics, according to the intelligence of the past few days, the interval between the enemy's attacks on each wave of worms was getting longer and longer, and it was obvious that the other party was accumulating troops.
Everyone had a vague premonition that extraterrestrial life must be plotting something. But no one would have thought that an unprecedented crisis had actually quietly arrived.
