Chapter 37

The camouflage and invisibility functions of the biochip are brought to the extreme. All the surrounding backgrounds are blurred, leaving only a giant enlarged screen. The effect of the 360-degree three-dimensional picture is too realistic, and it is almost difficult to synthesize a real or fake image. The hallucination of discernment - as if those interstellar pirates and Prince Gloria's guards, who had been shunned, were already approaching with murderous intent!

　Even in the new era of ephemeris, the space environment is a dangerous and extreme environment for humans. Smugglers are running freight on the waterway, and they have their heads in their belts, and they are prepared to never come back every time. Preparation - not to mention facing an interstellar war... although their opponents didn't think that messy encounter deserved to be called "war."

　But for ordinary people who have not experienced professional training and do not have a strong Eden system to rely on, the trauma of being deprived of the mental network in a vacuum is no less than being killed once, which will bring continuous extreme fear and anxiety - -This is also the reason why the self-defense members immediately mutinied after coming down from the sky. Mania and rage are ways people try to control fear, which can make even a hiding mouse show its ferocious fangs.

　At this time, the air raid scene, which was not authentic or fake, was like a fuse that lit a fuse, instantly detonating those suppressed fears and anxieties. The people who caused the most violence in the parade were precisely those who were most deeply traumatized. Among these people, Most of them collapsed on the spot and began to run around in a panic, trying in vain to find a place to hide. However, the crowded buildings in the residential alleys were only visually "invisible", and the entities were still there, not disappearing. The people running around quickly disappeared. Hitting an invisible wall. The irrational people could no longer tell what was blocking their way, so they began to yell crazily, like trapped animals, and crashed into the invisible wall over and over again.

　In a crowd, strong emotions are often like a plague, which will spread quickly. The angry crowd panics. Some people hold their heads blankly, some people squat on the ground shivering, and some people start shouting another person's name, stumbling around. I ran wildly in the direction of my memory, bumped into an invisible wall, and climbed up while trying my best to claw through the cracks in the wall...

　There was also someone shouting "Mom" in a hoarse voice.

　The video on the stereoscopic screen came from a road surveillance camera that happened to be able to capture the landing of the missile when Beijing's Beta star was bombed. The surveillance camera was located near a remote seaport in the southern hemisphere, a continent that is sparsely populated. So in fact, the vast majority of Beijing stars, like Penny, did not witness the process of being devoured by hell. They disappeared silently in an inexplicable rejuvenation. Death was quick and calm, like logging out of an unknown place. It's just a very interesting holographic game.

　This terrifying scene of doomsday was all given to a small base the size of a palm.

　In the video, the missile falls, and the expanding white light far exceeds the speed of sound, rolling in silently, engulfing the entire base. At the same time, under the influence of the chip, the vague mecha behind, the road under people's feet, and the buildings in the distance are revealed. ...all disappeared. The people around him were deformed and elongated, and their skin and flesh seemed to be piled up with sand. When the strong wind blew, they flew away with the wind, leaving only a frightened skeleton.

　The screams almost alarmed the energy tower.

　"Ah! Ah!"

　The video ended with the last white light, the multimedia screen dimmed, and the standby screen of Lotus bloomed. Then, the energy system, which had been harmed by high-energy particle cannons, high-power protective nets, and multimedia, screamed. After a few beeps, it was officially declared overloaded. Except for the core energy source of the mecha station, all other places were powered off.

　The entire base was silent, and the ugly people were kneeling or standing in stunned silence, still immersed in the abyss of nightmares.

　Even after using biochips, Lu Bixing did not try to affect so many people at the same time. His brain felt like needles pricking him for a moment, and he held on to the wall with some exhaustion.

　Saturday stared at him dumbfounded: "That... what was that just now?"

　"Holographic horror movie." Lu Bixing made a gun shape with his thumb and index finger, and touched Saturday's forehead like a child, and then he Wiping off the cold sweat on his forehead, he finished the remaining half of the bowl of soup and said to Saturday, "What I'm teasing you about is not a movie. This is the last video record left after the Beijing Star was attacked. Guards in low-Earth orbit." I uploaded it when I asked for help from the Alliance. I downloaded it from your abandoned supply depot."

　Saturday had not yet recovered from the shock. He nodded with a confused look on his face and moved his legs on instinct, following Lu Bing. Go outside. After a while, he seemed to remember something, and asked in a low voice, half talking to himself: "Why did you save this video?"

　Lu Bixing didn't answer at first, and Saturday thought he didn't hear. At this time, he felt a little confused for no reason. Afraid of Lu Bixing, he didn't dare to ask further.

　It wasn't until the two of them walked out of the mecha platform and could see the huddled parade team in the distance that Lu Bixing paused slightly and said out of nowhere, "Because I live in Beijing Star."

　Saturday . His head jerked up.

　"I got a long-term resident status in Beijing Star through investment, and I have been living there all these years. The money I invested built a school called Xinghai Academy, which recruited some inexperienced kids. On the first day of school, The teachers all got angry and left. I have many students on the Beijing Star, and many friends——" Lu Bixing stared ahead expressionlessly, the light filtered by the atmosphere from the energy tower softly hit his face. He seemed to be in a daze for a while, then shook his head gently and asked Saturday, "What, do you think I am also an interstellar vagabond?"

　Saturday was speechless - he only heard that among this group of people There is an arms dealer named One-Eyed Eagle, from whom Sister Stinky bought her mecha. As for what kind of arms dealer he is, where he lives, and why he is wandering among the stars... I didn't follow Sister Stinky and the others to heaven on Saturday. I have never been in contact with a one-eyed eagle, so I don't know much about these.

　He had always taken it for granted that Lu Bixing and the others were interstellar wanderers with no fixed abode, and had never taken root in any natural soil in this galaxy. They were the same kind who were "picked up" by Big Sister.

　Saturday opened his mouth nonchalantly: "I just told you... I just said in, in that workshop... I..."

　He just said to Lu Bixing in an understatement in the workshop that the underground channel at that time The smugglers noticed the rumors outside the territory and collectively decided to keep silent and not disclose the information to anyone.

　Lu Bixing turned his head and glanced at him: "Well, I know you didn't mean it. Just now you climbed the wall and jumped out of the window to deliver breakfast to me."

　Saturday was speechless.

　It is strange to say that if a person is lively, cheerful and loyal, then when he becomes friends with another person, he will easily regard the friend's hatred as his own hatred, and the friend's pain as his own personal pain... It seems that he has no awareness at all. No, not long ago, to him, this person was "not of my kind and deserves to die."

　"Now that I know it, be careful not to leak it in front of my students next time." Lu Bixing tried it, but the power supply that had just stopped was temporarily unable to be restored, and the out-of-tune audio equipment at the base went out, so he had to clear his throat. , walked into the crowd.

　"I was debugging multimedia on my personal terminal just now, and accidentally clicked on the live scene of Beijing's β planet being bombed by extraterrestrial pirates a while ago." Lu Bixing said, "I scared everyone, I'm sorry."

　In the stumbling Self-Defense Forces, except for the lunatic, There was a dead silence when venting, and suddenly there was someone who could speak normally, and everyone's attention was involuntarily attracted to him.

　A self-defense team member who was almost frightened went crazy and was experiencing a stress reaction. He punched the wall next to him so hard that his fists were bloody and bloody. Lu Bixing suddenly pinched his wrist with a movement that was too fast to be seen. The strength blessed by the biochip was far beyond that of a normal person. The self-abuse person screamed "Aoao" and struggled violently. The pinched right hand was still Hanging motionless in mid-air.

　"Listen to me," Lu Bixing bent down and looked into his eyes, slowed down his speech and repeated it word for word, "Listen to me."

　The masochistic man opened his eyes wide, and after a moment, his pupils seemed to dilate a little, and he actually stopped moving under his words that were as steady as a boulder.

　"First, you have already bought the mechas," Lu Bixing said. "If something cannot be prevented before it happens, it is useless to say anything afterwards. Looking back at your mecha arsenal and arsenal, you are already armed elements. "No matter if you are willing to admit it or not."

　"Secondly, don't think about blowing up the mecha warehouse." Lu Bixing saw the faint sanity in the eyes of the self-tortured man, so he released his grip on him and relaxed. Slowly straightening up, he continued, "Mechas are designed for war. Even if you use a laser gun for a day, you can only scratch a layer of paint at most. Mechas require space-grade weapons to destroy, and the moment of destruction will produce Violent energy fluctuations, the debris can never be disposed of by human power. If you destroy the entire base of mechas at the same time, the burst of energy is equivalent to sending an invitation to the star thieves in the eighth galaxy, telling them that dinner is here."

　"Third, please give me a lesson in modern history." Lu Bixing looked around the crowd. Those faces, regardless of whether they were men, women, old or young, were all ugly, tearful, and ignorant. "Prince Gloria's Guards were driven out of the Eighth Route Army by the Alliance Army." Galaxy, it is because they ignored the underground channels. Arisvon is a madman, not a fool. He will not make the same mistake twice. After completely occupying the eight galaxies, he will definitely clean up the underground channels inside and outside the galaxy. Everyone "Militants," the day when you will be discovered is not far away."

　At Lu Bixing's feet, a tall man with a beard hunched his neck and hunched his shoulders, holding the pendant around his neck tightly with one hand. After hearing this, the big man was stunned. Choking out a "buzzing" sound like a conch horn, Lu Bixing patted him on the back: "When the time comes, you will die again just like before."

　What he said caused silence everywhere . , for a moment, some people slowly got up in embarrassment.

　"I have one last thing to say," Lu Bixing stopped them. "If you don't want to die like this, put on your self-defense uniforms and come to me at the mecha docking station tomorrow, okay?"

　No one answered, no one answered. As he said, no one was clamoring to settle the score with the smelly eldest sister, and no one was laughing at him anymore - the first person to stand up had a numb look on his face, maybe resigned to his fate, or maybe he felt more sorrow than death.

　They held on to the wall and left one by one.

　The big man who was crying like a conch tried to get up, but his legs went weak and he fell back. He blew his nose hard and felt even more aggrieved. He pinched the pendant around his neck and called "Mom". Lu Bixing glanced at him and said, "Just now Was it you who called me mom?"

　The aggrieved conch was so embarrassed and angry that she couldn't speak.

　Lu Bixing tentatively unfolded his hand holding the pendant, and saw a crystal bottle about eight centimeters long hanging around the neck of this bold-looking gentleman. The crystal bottle was not small, but hanging around this man's neck, it still looked as delicate as A clavicle chain.

　Lu Bixing wiped away the water vapor and saw some gray debris in the crystal bottle. He was stunned for a moment, then he quickly and respectfully put his hands back in place, and said hello to the crystal bottle: "Hello, aunt - brother, what is your name?"

　"My name is... my name is... hiccup... "

　His name is 'Holiday'," Saturday interjected, "because he was picked up on Sunday. It was originally called 'Sunday', but later everyone thought it sounded like a curse, so they changed it." "

　Lu Bixing: "..."

　Compared with those members of the Alliance Parliament who often write three lines in their names, the names of the people in the Eight Galaxy are frighteningly casual.

　Holiday burst into tears: "I'm not mom's baby, I just... hiccup... just missed her all of a sudden. My mother used to run goods outside the country and made a lot of money... hiccup... and was robbed by pirates. She was robbed at that time Driving a merchant ship disguised as a mecha, she put me in a rescue capsule and transported me back to the base. I... ugh... I don't even have a single bone of hers. What's inside is the rabbit she raised..." I

　just recognized it. Lu Bixing, who was an auntie rabbit, was speechless for a moment, digesting this shocking seniority on his own.

　He pulled up his trousers, stretched his legs and sat on the ground, and suddenly said: "I miss my mother too, a little worse than you. I have never seen her in person, only a dozen images... recorded since the day she was pregnant. Sometimes one post a day, sometimes several posts a day. She must be a teacher. She looks very idle and doesn't seem to have much money. She complains every day that students can't think and are not as good as AI... My dad won't tell me more. I secretly checked the schools in the Eight Galaxy, but couldn't find it. It might be some privately established pheasant school."

　During the holiday, she sat on the ground like a bear and burped at him: "How did she die?"

　"At home . She provoked enemies and was hunted down. My father said that I was cut out from her belly." Lu Bixing said, "It is said that after she died, she still hugged her belly tightly. I..."

　What he said. Before he finished speaking, a one-eyed eagle suddenly roared not far away: "Lu Bixing! You bastard!"

　Lu Bixing said "No" in his heart. Using the excuse of "wrong film" could only fool the illiterate people at the base. His The father who sells arms knows the details of the chip.

　However, before he could turn around, Lu Bixing was lifted up by the back of his neck, and his collar was tightly clamped on his neck. Lin Jingheng's face turned white, and even his lips lost color, and he slapped him in the air. .

　Lu Bixing heard the cracking sound of his finger joints. He wanted to run away and hide halfway, but then he remembered that he was in a state of copper skin and iron bones, so he couldn't be beaten anyway, so he retracted his arm and winked at Lin Jingheng very hard: " What..."

　The one-eyed eagle had called him a "bastard" just now. Seeing this, he immediately turned around and said, "What are you doing, Lin? How dare you!"

　Lin Jingheng squeezed out a few words from between her teeth: "You also know..."

　You also know that she was hunted down all the way, still struggling in the cracks, and still trying her best to protect you when she was about to die.

　You also know that it took such a thrilling effort to snatch your life back.

　But these words cannot be said.

　It was he who decided to let the previous generation's affairs rot in Zhan Lu's database and not reveal anything to that person.

　Lin Jingheng slowly put down his hand and allowed the one-eyed eagle to fly over and pull him away.

　For a moment, Lu Bixing saw his hands shaking. His heart skipped a beat, and before he could react, he had already reached out to pull Lin Jingheng away.

　Lin Jingheng stepped away without looking at him, and nodded to Zhan Lu who was following him.

　Zhan Lu couldn't help but hold Lu Bixing's elbow: "Principal Lu, the medical equipment is ready, please come with me."

　Lu Bixing's eyes were still chasing Lin Jingheng's back, trying to get away from him: "Hey, wait..."

　Zhan Lu said seriously: "As the artificial intelligence of the mecha core, my body is made of deformable special materials. Each gram costs six million First Galaxy Alliance coins."

　Lu Bixing quickly raised his hands and moved He didn't dare to move, he didn't even dare to breathe hard, for fear that he wouldn't be able to control his strength and break any of Zhanlu's hairs.

　Zhan Lu personally supervised the work and carefully removed the biochip from Lu Bixing's body. The artificial intelligence held up the bloody chip on a tray, brought it to the dispirited Lu Bixing, and said solemnly: "The dangers of the 'opium chip' You have fully understood the nature of sex and addiction, and even with full understanding, you still tried a second contact. According to my assessment, your behavior has reached primary dependence. According to the alliance's public security management regulations, your future for some time will be Behavior will be monitored."

　Lu Bixing: "No, I..."

　Zhan Lu picked up the chip in front of him, and with a "Crack" sound, the chip was burnt and a small white smoke came out: "After testing, your cranial nerves are overused. In order to prevent a series of adverse sequelae such as migraines and anxiety, etc. , I need to give you a soothing injection."

　After saying that, before Lu Bixing could object, a thin needle was inserted into his neck. Lu Bixing didn't even have time to hum. His vision went dark and he didn't know anything anymore.

　When he woke up, one day had passed, and the base's three-month countdown had moved forward one notch.

　Lu Bixing got up and looked around, and saw the one-eyed eagle guarding the living room outside, sleeping sprawled on the sofa and snoring. He quietly closed the bedroom door, climbed out of the window, and went to find Lin Jingheng - He planned to ask Lin to make up for the missed slap, otherwise he would always dream about that trembling hand.

　However, Lin Jingheng had compiled Zhongsan's repair plan overnight, started the automatic repair process, and left with Zhan Lu.

　He wanted to draw military maps of underground waterways as soon as possible.

　Lu Bixing had no choice but to turn around and go to the mecha station again.

　But except for the four students who turned in blank papers and had droopy eyebrows, he didn't wait for anyone.

　There were still eighty-nine days until the base was finished, and people told him with actual actions that the base was already finished.
