Volume V, 11: Gaps
All are well aware of their fate.
If there is no accident, the greatest possibility for himself and others is to become scattered ashes under the main gun MDD of the strategic cruiser, and then moisten the planet Tifa. It is a little less likely that the strategic cruiser has a problem, is too busy to take care of itself, or for other reasons, and after hanging up, it becomes the feces of these insects, moistening the fungus blanket that does not know where the road is. The last one may be to be taken by these bugs and then brought back for all kinds of brainwashing, training, and gene implantation.
In today's era of extremely frequent information exchanges, don't want to hide too many secrets, from the various versions of rumors circulating within the military, there are more or less some information about the Federation's knowledge of the Zerg, some of which are unintentional mistakes, and some of which are deliberate, so that the people's determination to resist the Zerg is more resolute after knowing the fate of the Zerg.
So, for their own end, the people here hardly hold out any hope.
Everyone understands that a ship with tens of thousands of members, whose role is more important than the number of people, can never make some risky move in an unknown situation just for the sake of a few hundred people. In the current situation of not knowing how many troops the Dao Zerg still has, it is impossible to mobilize more strength to measure it, and people who think like that must regard themselves as the protagonists, thinking that they alone are more important than the whole fleet.
Ending up together is already the best ending for these people, and it is easier for them to accept it than the latter two.
However, with little hope in mind, the bugs that should have rushed in and killed them suddenly retreated.
When watching these bugs change direction, those present undoubtedly have the urge to jump up and scream. And when they saw the brute beast and the other insects killing each other, everyone was already screaming in their mouths.
Disbelief, doubt, ecstasy, and so on.
There was no one here who didn't want to go back alive, but they knew very well that this was just a luxury, but because this luxury suddenly had a faint possibility to be realized when they knew it was impossible, they were even more excited.
They can't help but want to thank this kind of person who gave them a chance to survive, and they are grateful from the bottom of their hearts.
"Could it be the people who went in before?"
Most people wonder if this is the possibility, because they can't think of anything other than that. To be able to ambush them, it is clear that the group of people on the strategic cruiser are a bunch of idiots. Troops will be sent to support in a timely manner. That's not even a matter of even thinking about it, let alone being so short.
And when Chen Xi appeared from the back of the brute beast with people, they immediately announced the excitement in their hearts with can't help but cheer.
It feels so good to be alive!
……
"That's horrible down there!"
In the midst of the frightened words, large medical transport planes appeared in the sky again.
One by one, they spurted air with their tails. Rise from the ground to the sky. And then rush into space. It's just that the original situation of being close to full load is now only a few dozens, hundreds, or simply not a single one has returned, and only the onboard personnel who remain in the transport plane exist. Return to a strategic cruiser in outer space orbit with an empty medical transport plane.
And looking at the cabin with only a few dozen people left in front of him, a certain soldier who had just escaped death from the experience of being surrounded by insects, just as the previous sentence fell, the latter sentence picked up: "No one can let me perform this kind of damn mission again, never, definitely!" ”
It's not that he is greedy for life and afraid of death to escape with others, it's just that he feels that even the lack of weapons and equipment that should be there is a battle is completely death, if there are King Tiger giant cannon tanks, there are raider assault chariots, and Thor heavy assault mechas, even if they encounter these insects led by brute beasts, they dare to fight, but there is nothing, except for them, ordinary soldiers wearing mechanical power armor, that is, some members of the Cobra force who use ghost energy.
It is impossible for them to stay and fight on Tifa for the stupidity of the strategic cruisers.
It was with this thought in mind that he abandoned his companions and broke through the siege of the bugs with a few powerful people, he must not let those idiots survive after making mistakes, he wants to make these people pay.
Of course, this is just an excuse, a reason to make oneself feel at ease. However, many people often need such a reason to soothe the regret and anxiety in their hearts after doing something they feel they shouldn't do, and then slowly sink into it until they even believe it, as if this reason is true.
Kennan didn't care what the ordinary soldier thought, after this battle, which was also dangerous for them, they were already vaguely aware of some problems.
"Although it seems more reasonable, because the crystal building can shield the relationship between electronic equipment and detection, the fleet cannot detect the danger on the star globe, so that nearly 10,000 soldiers are in danger, but I always feel that this operation is a bit deliberate, as if the fleet deliberately let us lose it."
Because of this concern, he has opened up the psychic connection within the team, including all the evolutionaries who have escaped, and after introducing each other, they have discussed these issues.
Kennan believed that they had to join forces, otherwise it would be easy for them to die again for reasons similar to this one. Whether it is dead in the mouths of those bugs, or being bombarded by the main cannon MDD, it is a very bad result.
"I also feel this way, I didn't send the King Tiger Cannon Tank and the Thor Assault Mecha, but I didn't even give the Marauder Assault Tank a personnel carrier with fast action and combat protection, it's too, it's obviously cheating on us." Wei Li'an, who came from another team of evolutionaries, said indignantly in his heart.
Even as an evolutionary, he had to admit that he was frightened by the insects that poured out like a tidal wave and were not afraid to die, if he could. He never wanted to go through it a second time, at the very least, the combat power of both sides should be equal.
"But this is also an opportunity for us, and when we return, this operation on the planet Tifa will definitely cause an uproar." Kenan said with a squint, a sense of danger emerging from his expression.
"You mean they," Wei Li'an pointed to a few distraught people inside the ship, "we can stir things up"
"That's right, most of the people on this warship are criminals, and they will never be fooled by the same casual as ordinary soldiers. They will certainly ask the fleet for a reasonable explanation. And those of us who can survive this operation will naturally be able to become the leaders of these people by virtue of our strength and qualifications, as long as we can control this warship. Not only the next tasks can be easily completed. It also helps us get more evolution points. Kennan nodded.
"We have to take a long-term view. With the convenience of being a senior group, we can go to more places and then connect those who are dissatisfied. Even officers can turn waste into treasure and gain an advantage in the next mission. Kennan spoke his mind.
"That's a good idea, if you say that." Wei Li'an also laughed, but immediately stopped it, he really couldn't be too proud on such an occasion, otherwise, he would definitely come back to be the object of these people's resentment.
He thought for a moment and asked, "But others might think of it too." ”
"Then join forces, this ship is so big, there are a lot of good things, such as the King Tiger Cannon Tank, Thor Assault Mecha, and those fighters and the like, which are enough for us to use as bargaining chips, and everything is mission-oriented." Kennan was not worried about this, and through the officer who bought him, he was told that he already knew how much the warship had on board, and that the configuration was even better than most of the military's strategic cruisers because of the variety of situations that might be faced during the operation.
With enough room for negotiation, he believes that others will not ask for too much, because everyone knows that in exploration mode, everyone can only complete the task better if they join forces. Of course, when this sentence is spoken, it also depends on the situation, and if the time comes, they will only talk verbally, and they will not be able to restrain themselves.
"Okay, let's just make up our minds, and start acting when we go back, and I believe that if we work together, we will definitely be able to occupy a major position in the subsequent actions." Welien has decided to join forces with Kennan to take the biggest share of the battle to divide up the warships.
However, their good mood did not last long, and about ten minutes later, the medical transport plane arrived inside the warship.
After this period of treatment, the injured people were able to move more or less freely, and they and the uninjured group of people were reunited in one place after some boarding inspection and quarantine procedures. Here, the five Kenan saw a person they didn't want to see at the moment, Chen Xi.
"How could he still be alive, shouldn't he have been killed by me!"
At first sight, Kenan was so shocked that he almost said what he was thinking, he never thought that Chen Xi would be able to come back, which was more exaggerated than seeing a ghost.
When he met Chen Xi, he was mixed with the last group of people to enter. A total of more than a hundred people came in from the passage, all of whom Kenan had seen before, all of them were from a spaceship, of course they had an impression. But what made him feel extremely obstructive was that this group of people were all centered on Chen Xi, faintly surrounding, and when they looked at the people standing at the meeting place of the corresponding spaceship, they basically had a sneer on their faces that could not be concealed, including contempt, disdain, and a faint mockery.
If Kenan and others have watched the domestic anti-Japanese drama, they will definitely understand that this is the expression of the good comrades of the military engineering team behind the enemy when they see the Japanese puppet army when they are approaching the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, and the rhythm of proper settlement after the autumn.
But even if he hadn't seen it, Kenan probably guessed what Chen Xi did to save the others after he and the others left, that is, they were finished!
"How?" Wei Li'an looked at Kennan, whose face had changed drastically, and asked suspiciously. Although he was also on the same medical transport plane, he naturally didn't know what happened next, so he didn't understand the change in Kenan's expression now.
At this moment, Kennan's heart is all occupied by remorse.
If possible, he would definitely kill the more than 100 people who came back this time. Do it completely kill people, so that those ugly behaviors about themselves and others framing and abandoning their companions will not be exposed. Because in today's federation, this is almost synonymous with rape, and it belongs to the type of everyone shouting and beating.
"Damn, I was captured by those ghost lords at the beginning, how good it is to become a zerg." Kenan scolded in frustration, no longer interested in dealing with Wei Li'an. In fact, there was no need for him to deal with it anymore, from the moment he saw these people come back, he knew the truth. The action plans they had planned before had nothing to do with them at all.
Because there will be no more people on this warship who believe in them. In its place, it will be Chen Xi, who will gain the trust of everyone, whether it is strength or faith, he will become the object of respect of these criminals and even soldiers.
"Thank you for that thing. It's really useful. As soon as I got to the vicinity of those bugs. It's going to chase you soon. Brother Chen walked up to Kenan and thanked him sincerely. The drastic emotional changes in the other party's brain seemed to him more exciting than anything else, probably because he wanted to kill them all, and he never minded adding fuel to the fire. It's best to get Kenan to put this idea into action, and then they can kill each other justifiably.
"As long as you think it's useful, I'm happy to be able to help other people." Kenanpi said with a smile, although the corners of his mouth twitched, he still had to say words against his will, because he would not risk giving Chen Xi a chance to kill him, because now that he is dead, everything is over.
"It's not all" Chen Xi proudly showed off in front of Kenan and the people behind him, "After killing those zergs, while the effect is still there, we used a large number of vines and reinforced ropes to trap the brute beast, and then called a medical transport plane to transport it back, this is a living brute beast, according to Totti, the federation can't catch one or two heads a year to study, this credit is great, it looks like our military rank will have a big promotion, I have to thank you, because there is a large part of your contribution." ”
"It's my pleasure." Kennan continued to be a shrunken turtle, and even Comoros, who was very unhappy and wanted to do it later, was stopped by him.
Chen Xi suddenly felt little interested, and secretly said that this guy was really bearable, and couldn't help but drop a sentence, ready to fight again in the future: "It's a pity, I still have to continue to see your figure." ”
"Each other, each other."
At this moment, a senior officer of the fleet appeared with several mid-ranking officers, first announcing the losses of the operation, a total of 8,351 people died, and less than a seventh of them could return, and the specific list had been posted to their respective information ports.
The result of the operation was finally successful, not only obtained the equipment data that the scientists had sorted out before, but also captured a living brute beast, which is of great research value.
What follows is a long piece of nonsense that tells the meaning of it.
No matter in that era, the bureaucracy was the same model, using achievements to highlight failures and credit to cover up mistakes. However, the people present are not idiots, and the problems can already be seen from what happened during this operation. If that's all the command of the ship, then they will still face the same situation next time, and even if a stupid person is lucky once or twice, he will still make the same mistake as an idiot the third time.
Under this concern, the subsequent development was just as Kennan had expected, and those who were unwilling and resentful had already secretly conspired together, and even some officers and soldiers who were lucky enough to survive from the army began to participate in this matter, and there was a faint intention to unite. Even if they have not yet thought of overthrowing the control of the fleet higher-ups, they still have some other thoughts, such as wanting to know more information, and the determination to resolutely resist some unreasonable orders.
In the process, the facilitating role of the evolutionary occupies a very key position in it.
On this occasion, the skills of mind control and mental suggestion have a very good effect, taking advantage of the suspicion and strong personal will that are common to criminals, most people's awe of the fleet side begins to weaken, and if it weren't for the fact that there are so many automatic defense weapons inside the warship, they will definitely not obey the rules here.
And what makes Kennan feel extremely bad is that the kind of situation he least wants to see is also taking shape one by one in an unstoppable situation because of the current situation.
With more than 100 people coming back from the same ship, Chen Xi's reputation on the Space Prison was spread to a great extent, but in just two days, almost everyone knew about the great things he had done on Tifa. First, he took the initiative to attract the attention of the brute beast in the form of bait, took it out of the battlefield, and helped the rest of the people have a chance to deal with the bugs behind, and then risked the huge danger of being blown up by the lice, and rushed to another battlefield with the brute beast to rescue those who were being besieged by bugs and were in a state of collapse.
The thrilling and dangerous part, without these people specifying, other people who have watched various federal propaganda Zerg films can understand for themselves that being able to do this kind of thing can no longer be described as brave, but brave in fighting for their own lives. Not to mention helping teammates on another battlefield in the future, this kind of sentiment of not abandoning and not giving up is almost equivalent to a hero for the Federation people who are struggling in the Zerg War.
In fact, many people have regarded Chen Xi as a hero, so much so that the same identity, a criminal, made them feel a sense of pride: Look, don't talk about the mistakes we made in the past, as the so-called righteousness slaughters more dogs, as long as the master dares to sacrifice his life, he can do this.
It's not that the unreasonable party and the calm party question whether this matter is too exaggerated and unreliable.
Not to mention how dangerous the process of climbing onto the back of the brute beast is, just to say that the big explosion formed by the jump lice and hiding in the brute beast's skull is not something that ordinary people can do. Using the overlapping and reduction of layers of explosions, so that the person in the center only suffers extremely small damage, how this kind of thing is heard, how it is the same as a myth, plus the control of brute beasts and the indiscriminate attraction of insects, it is different from what they have seen and heard before.
But what left them speechless was that the images and notices on the ship's merit column undoubtedly proved that this thing was true, and they could only strongly appeal: We need the right to know, and the federal military cannot hide secrets like this.
However, they did wronged the top of the fleet, because these people didn't know how Chen Xi did the above, and they had been investigating the matter through those who participated in the operation during the intervals of warp sailing in the past two days. On the third day, he even called Kenan and a few people over to ask about the banshee's confusion. (To be continued......)
