Book V, 34: Lessons
Chen Xi's unexpected appearance really surprised everyone.
"Sir, didn't you run away a long time ago?" Totti stumbled, almost speechless from shock.
Well, what he actually wants to say is: Hey, this kind of thing is too much of a contrast with the righteousness you showed before. Have you ever considered our feelings, and actually used them as cannon fodder to attract the enemy's firepower, so that we can still happily work under you from now on?
The others nodded busily, with the same look of surprise and depression.
Like Totti, they have a feeling that they have been sold by their good teammates. This kind of thing makes people feel bitter and bitter when they think about it, and there are more than 100 people when they came, and now there are only more than 20 remnants left, which is simply too sad. Especially Chen Xi, as the leader, actually lived a good life, without any injuries at all, compared with his struggle to escape death, everyone felt that I was very unhappy!
"It's nothing, it's just a small ploy, it's not enough to fool them, the most important thing now is that our goal has been achieved, completely control the command center at the lowest cost, and then, we can tell everyone very smoothly that those bugs are plotting."
Chen Xi didn't see everyone's expressions, and there was no great look on his face that he was doing this. If it weren't for the prestige that had been established before, the cold tone would definitely make people hate it.
Of course, the movements in Chen Xi's hands did not slow down. While answering, he easily manipulated the Space Prison's console to send the signal ship containing the specific message to the planet PEJ-X4, stopping the self-destruct program and connecting the entire spacecraft's broadcast system.
This is the excellent quality of a senior criminal with lofty aspirations, who is ready to subvert everything and control everything at any time, and it has been perfectly demonstrated in Chen Xi.
Not long after he got on the ship, he already thought that that kind of thing was the most refreshing and passionate thing for him, that is, to completely become the owner of this space prison. is obviously in the second year of middle school with him, and he can't even beat the most ordinary adult in a head-on battle. It's the same as thinking about ruling the world. Chen Xi began to supplement his knowledge and design methods for this ideal very early.
How to operate a battleship, naturally, was within the scope of his learning. Looking at the spaceship that required dozens of people to operate, with the help of Chen Xi's hands and tentacles, it completed various instructions very smoothly. The people behind were shocked again.
"Sir, did you have a premeditated plan?" Totti finally decided to tell the truth. Otherwise, I don't understand this. He's going to suffocate.
"Of course it can't be, I just had this idea on the spot after I received the news that the Dark Templars were coming to help. Something is wrong with these bugs, and I have to make some special arrangements just in case, but unfortunately the Dark Templars are limited, and for this reason, I am even prepared to destroy them all. Chen Xi explained seriously.
Seeing that the Dark Templar could make objects close to his body invisible, he had the idea that if something went wrong, he would leave everyone behind and run away. Of course, he certainly wouldn't be so honest here.
However, this answer still made Totti and others feel that their existence is a tragedy.
"I see." Those who heard it answered in despair.
Fortunately, these people are soldiers who have been tempered several times between life and death, and their psychological quality is good, and after knowing the fact that they were not sold by Chen Xi on purpose, everyone quickly came back to their senses and took their places in front of the command platform.
Then, the reappeared mechanical radio sound rang out in every corner of the ship.
"The self-destruct procedure has been lifted, the ship's security level has returned to normal, please return to their respective positions as crew members prepare to leave the ship"
Hearing this voice, many soldiers who were scrambling for the escape boat finally put down their firefight, and then looked at the messy scene and smiled wordlessly.
There is always a selfish side to human nature, and after knowing that the spaceship will explode soon, the first reaction of some people is not to stop this kind of thing, but to leave the ship.
When Chen Xi and his people were trying to stop the spaceship from exploding, they were trying their best to give their hope of escape a little more chance.
This is also the basis for the brain control insect people to be confident that they can still win in the face of the overwhelming advantage of humans with a weak number, and after eliminating this part of the people who are only for self-preservation, there are actually very few humans who dare to really fight with them.
And in the same way, if this kind of thing happened at the beginning, they would definitely run as far as they could, but at this time, hearing this voice, all the brain control worm people who were not completely brainwashed and controlled put down their hearts.
"Finally, I don't have to worry about it anymore, watching the countdown to the self-detonation, I always feel that the future is hopeless." Comoros breathed a sigh of relief and said, "To be honest, this kind of life and death in the hands of others is too uncomfortable. ”
"Not to mention, for the master of everything, we are probably like ants on the side of the road, we can abandon sacrifices at any time, and even I have a little doubt that we who are only a few hundred people will be noticed by the master of several river systems, it feels like I have mastered a planet, but I have to notice the death and life of a nest of ants." Sarkozy shook his head.
"Don't discuss this, let's move quickly, and they will definitely inform everyone of what is happening here, so next, after we kill Chen Fala, we will find a good place to hide and hide, and when the reinforcements arrive, this mission will be successfully completed." Seeing that his teammates were a little slack, Kennan reminded.
That's right, they deliberately let those human soldiers stay in the command center, similar to the previous two people's worries about the master, compared to the master temporarily noticed that there was a self-destruction, it is better to take the initiative and create an opportunity to eliminate the danger of self-explosion, anyway, the reinforcements will arrive soon, and the more than 20 people left behind are in the command center, and they can't make any big waves.
It's also thanks to the destruction of the monitors along the way, allowing them to avoid worrying about being noticed while dodging. After all, the whole spaceship is huge, several kilometers long and hundreds of meters in diameter, and it is not easy to find some people in such a large area.
Therefore, when they heard the news of the Zerg conspiracy being exposed in the follow-up broadcast and calling on everyone to take up arms to resist, they didn't worry much, but caught up with those who escaped step by step.
There are more than 30 people in this group. The strength is good. If it's in an open terrain, it's hard to stay all and find the guy they want to kill. However, on a spaceship with narrow access and restricted directions of movement. These people are the turtles in the urn.
They were prepared. Already notify the brain-controlled worm people in other directions when these people are escaping. In the opposite direction, they surrounded them.
"Chen Fala, stop dying and struggling. We've already used restricted items within the range, so there's no way you're going to escape! As Kenan said this, the gang was desperately attacking the ordinary brain-controlled worms in the direction, trying to snatch a way out.
However, the pity is that there are more than 300 brain-controlled worms blocking them, even if they are just ordinary people, but they have powerful weapons in the interstellar era, and these people don't want to escape easily.
Looking at the dying struggles of these people, Kenan said playfully: "Maybe I can give the others some chances, as long as we kill Chen Fala and accept the control of the infected worm, we can surround the lives of those people." ”
Those who can let go of the people behind them to escape, they are all guys who only care about their own lives, and in the face of the chance to live, it is difficult to have a reason to refuse, not to mention, there will be many evolutionaries who only care about their own interests, as long as they are transformed into brain-controlled worms, they can more or less increase their strength and prevent the people on the follow-up spaceship from finding them.
Of course, the most important thing is that Kenan wants to see Chen Xi die a miserable death. He has always been very aggrieved by himself and others, and he also wants this bastard to taste it.
"What you said is true?" Bisis immediately turned back and shouted.
"It's natural, you've heard the radio, and after revealing the truth, we're under a lot of pressure to face the human soldiers on the entire ship." Comoros said, pointing to the announcer hanging on the wall.
"So what are we going to do?"
This reason convinced Bisis that the others listened and slowed down, and some of them no longer thought about running away, but turned to face Kenan's pursuers.
"I suspect that Chen Fala must have used some kind of method to change his body shape, so I want you to take off the mechanical power armor and then conduct DNA verification."
Mechanical Power Armor comes with simple automatic medical equipment, which can perform some uncomplicated first aid on the wounded, and occasionally make a cameo function to distinguish unrecognizable corpses, and bring the remains on the battlefield back to the Human Federation. Although they were not prepared in a hurry, they still brought some mechanical power armor with them.
"You're not going to attack us at this time, are you?" Even if you believe the reasons these insects say, but your life is important, some people still hesitated.
"Don't worry, as long as you cooperate, we will not be able to get along with our future companions, under the will of the master, we will all be equal." The colonel commander assured.
In this case, there is obviously no other choice, after getting the promise, even if they are worried, they can only obediently take off the mechanical power armor on their bodies, and then let these brain control worms check one by one.
The process was a little nervous, the brain control insect man was worried that Chen Xi would be trapped at this time, and on the other side, he was worried that the brain control insect man would take advantage of this good opportunity to make a black hand, and both sides were more vigilant and careful, so that the speed of the inspection was a little slow.
However, this matter is not in a hurry, the long wait can make someone feel tormented, and it is also something that Kenan and the others like to see, and the only thing to lose is probably the ordinary brain-controlled worm people who withstood the attack of the human soldiers at the meeting point in front, but their lives are not important here.
At this time, Bisis seemed to think of something, and said to Kenan and the others in front of him: "By the way, you should be careful, I have heard that Chen Fala has received the help of the Protoss, and there are many Dark Templars following him. ”
"Protoss, wait, what are you talking about, he has a lot of Dark Templars!"
At first, none of these brain-controlled insects reacted, after all, they had never seen the Dark Templar, there was no clear concept, and only Chen Xi reported that they knew the way. It seems to be able to be invisible, very powerful. However, the infected worms in their brains were connected to the brain worms, and when all the information about the Dark Templars came from there, many people couldn't help but cry out in a lost voice.
"How many of them are coming!"
"I think it's a dozen, I'm not sure, but we have some of us who they brought from PEJ-X4, you can ask them." Bissis said, pointing to the last few humans who joined later, and as for others, of course, they died. Brother Chen's method of distributing bento has always been clean and neat. It is very useful as cannon fodder.
"Well, yes, they said when they called us over, there were 18 of them," asked the brain-controlled worm man. Someone took the initiative to answer.
But just when he wanted to continue. In vain, his eyes widened. Look fixedly at the other side.
What happened in front of his eyes was terrifying, and a dozen or so heads suddenly detached from their bodies and flew to the side. More than a dozen fountains of blood burst out from their original positions, rising to a height of several meters, and still steaming, until the people around them were stained with the blood foam sprinkled on them.
"Damn, we've been attacked by them, get out of the way!"
In the face of the elusive attacks of the Dark Templars, many people gathered in the narrow terrain, which was simply the best target for movement. This is not an online game where you can't attack each other, and the attacks and skills you cast will still have a damage effect when you hit people.
Everyone hurriedly dispersed in panic, because in this short period of time, two waves of heads in the crowd flew into the air, and the steaming columns of blood added a strong smell of rust to the air in this area.
Originally, there were more than a hundred brain-controlled wormmen left, but by the time they began to dodge, there were only more than seventy left, and they were caught off guard, and they actually caused more damage than the previous human army.
What made them feel even more unlucky was that even the radio was at this time when TMD came to make a fuss.
"Thank you for your sacrifices, we wouldn't have been able to deceive them without this great performance, now, cooperate with the Dark Templars who have caught up, and kill all the Zerg together, you are true heroes!"
There was a thick malice in his voice.
After hearing this, the brain-controlled insect man's face changed instantly, and he looked at the bastard opposite with resentment and anger. Those soldiers and evolutionaries who had the intention of surrendering were even more shocked, this Nima was going to completely force their rhythm!
It can be said that this method of being a martyr is definitely deliberately done by Chen Xi, what he wants is to make the brain-controlled worms suspicious, regard those who escaped as accomplices, deliberately pretend to be cowardly like mice, deceive them, and then take the opportunity to catch them all now.
Perhaps in the eyes of those in the know, this method of sowing discord is ridiculous, and it is so simple to make people believe that no one will be fooled except for those who are really fools. But in fact, in the hearts of people who don't know the way, it is not the same thing at all, and when there is a diaphragm in the heart, any bit of wind and grass will trigger a violent reaction.
Some people can't control the impulses of their bodies, pull the trigger cheaply, or subconsciously perform certain skills, and now, even if Bisis and the others don't want to fight, they can only do it, unless they want to be killed without resistance.
And so, a war that was so bad that it was so chaotic that it really took place here.
The Brain Control Wormmen frantically beat the fleeing human soldiers and evolutionaries, and the anger of being deceived made them vent all their emotions on these people. In front of them, human soldiers from other directions surrounded the Brain Control Worm Man, and in the face of the ferocious firepower, the Brain Control Insect Man suffered heavy losses. On the way out, the Dark Templar launched an assassination without a trace, and anyone who tried to escape was met with a sudden stab, even those who planned to escape a second time.
"Sir, wouldn't it be too cruel?"
In the command center that broadcast this war live, there are soft-hearted people who persuade.
In the images shown by Sylves, the worst thing is that these people who fled before, no matter which direction leaks the attack, they will hit them in the most central position, and the situation that needs to be encountered on both sides makes them often take care of one or the other, and it is estimated that it will not be long before they will die alone.
"Sergeant, you need to know that at this critical moment of life and death for the entire Human Federation, there must be no cowards in our ranks, but those who really dare to sacrifice themselves, because the former is a variable in our actions, and it is easy to destroy what we want to achieve."
"Just like what you encountered before, in fact, I have two hands to prepare, if you resist the attack of these insects and fight with them, those Dark Templars will cooperate with me, but because they escaped from the battle, we must pay several times more death, this is what I want to tell you, while bringing you victory, I need your absolute loyalty and obedience to orders."
Chen Xi said indifferently, he didn't have the slightest psychological burden on the death of those people, but began to instill a cannon fodder concept for the more than twenty people here.
This cold tone made everyone feel scared.
From the resourcefulness and courage at the beginning, to the current means that are even more terrible than sending them directly to death, Chen Xi's performance always makes them feel unpredictable, and they can't figure out what he plans to do next, as if his thinking has completely departed from the scope of normal people. What's even more terrifying is that these means of figuring out everyone's thoughts are extremely effective, and can cause the greatest result at the lowest cost, just like a devil lurking in everyone's heart, always tempting them to do what he wants.
Under the palpitations, after Chen Xi finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but respond simply: "Yes, we understand, sir!" ”
Of course, coldness can't go all the way to the end, Chen Xi showed his mercy in a timely manner: "However, if they can survive this combat battle, I will forgive them for their previous betrayal." ”
“……”
Everyone has been completely speechless, and even fools know that it is almost impossible to survive it. Therefore, they have one more thing to know about Chen Xi, that is, they are very cautious.
Once you betray him once, the results will be even more terrible than simply dying. (To be continued......)
