"Beep", the door to the underground prison of Daystar suddenly opened, and the bright light of the mecha truck came in dazzlingly. Captain Turan Guard's hard military boots hit the ground, like the sound of falling gunshots, her eyes flickered. Scanning the cell, he quickly checked the photo of Hope on the personal terminal, locked the target, and saw that with Hope as the center, a circle of prisoners stretched their necks, listening to him with bated breath, Turan's eyes gently He squinted to cover the coldness in his eyes.
Then she politely waved her hand and ordered the strong light to be turned off. With a smile on her face, like a polite female secretary, she clasped her hands in front of her and walked over in a soft voice and asked, "Are you Mr. Hope?"
The middle-aged man with gray temples looked at her. , stood up without being humble or arrogant: "It's me."
"There's no malice, Mr. Hope, that's it, we found the person you rescued, but now the problem is a bit complicated, and it may spread here..." Turan said in front of a room The prisoner who overheard her words seemed to be unable to speak clearly, and her voice was soft and urgent, like an anxious little girl who could not speak clearly. She begged softly, "The patient mentioned your name, can you please Help me?"
Hope was stunned, and seemed to immediately realize what "problem" and "spread" were referring to: "How could it be? Your department doesn't have this kind of standing antibody?"
Turan bit his lip, full of Unable to explain, he lowered his head in a low voice: "Please help us, the civilians are innocent."
Although Hope didn't know why, he hurriedly waved to everyone and straightened his clothes politely: "Okay, no problem, I I don't know much, so please give me your orders. After all, I brought them."
At the same time, Saturday strode into the military camp where the Self-Defense Forces were stationed, and the sharp whistle woke everyone up.
"Assemble!" He gasped, "Get up quickly, put on your isolation suit, and follow me!"
Galaxy City entered a long night, and the small base on the edge of the eighth galaxy was just dusk. The administration building of the Eighth Galaxy Self-Defense Force Next, the remaining weasel had just withdrawn his team, and suddenly he heard the sound equipment in the entire block begin to "beep". He raised his head in confusion and saw a few flashes on the lotus-shaped multimedia screen, and then, Foucault's face appear above.
"Brothers and sisters," she shouted, lighting up a lot of lights. People poked their heads out of the windows and looked at the woman on the three-dimensional screen. "Brothers and sisters, we are the Eighth Galaxy Self-Defense Force, and the Eighth Galaxy is us. Our homeland, we still stay here at the worst time. Now, it is time to ask you to stand up for the eight galaxies again."
Zhan Lu unloaded from Chongsan, transformed into a human form, and carried a huge supercomputer processor. Passing directly through the space field, he accurately landed at the door of the isolated factory basement. A row of virtual screens lined up behind him. Zhan Lu rarely talked nonsense: "Sir, Principal Lu, we have linked to the Galaxy City intranet and registered Personal terminal database, please give me next instructions."
"Preventing the spread of the virus is the most important task at this stage," Lu Bixing remotely contacted the rushing Self-Defense Forces and Bai Yinjiu, "Everyone, everything we are doing now may not be possible. It's just a false alarm, but if there is any oversight, it may be fatal. Don't challenge the pervasiveness of the virus."
He said as countless small red dots representing personal terminals flashed on Zhanlu's virtual screen. The virus. All the areas that the carrier Webster passed through within 48 hours were investigated. The little red dots turned into winding red lines over time, which was dazzling. Real-life pictures of cities and neighborhoods flashed by like going back in time and space. Lu's processor is extremely powerful, and this data is not a problem at all. Every target that is successfully located will be synchronized to the Self-Defense Forces or the Silver Ninth Guards who stay up all night. Teams of soldiers wearing isolation suits come to Go to alleys that are inaccessible to mecha vehicles and search for possible contacts. The invisible enemies have their swords hanging high.
On the other side of the underground warehouse, the patients had fallen asleep. Even William couldn't hold on and lay down in the medical cabin. Although the medical cabin was helpless against the rainbow virus, it still dutifully injected the final impetus into their lives. .
The screaming crow fell from the night sky and was immediately shoveled away by the epidemic prevention robot recruited from Galaxy City Hospital. A row of disinfection trucks set off from near the old factory, constantly spraying disinfectant reagents.
Turan hurriedly dragged Hope halfway out of the cell. The temporary head of the disinfection team connected to her personal terminal: "Captain, the disinfectant is expected to run out within an hour. It is currently impossible to confirm whether traditional disinfectants can kill The mutated rainbow virus, please give instructions as soon as possible -"
Hope was startled: "What did he say? The rainbow virus has mutated?"
Turan took a deep breath, the night was as cold as water on the morning star, and she was scratched A pair of busy lungs hurt.
"My general," she thought, "when has the Silver Ninth Guard ever done this kind of logistical work? His expertise is inappropriate! Recruiting all medical supplies - except for the hospitals that are about to close down in Galaxy City and several surrounding cities. Where else can I go to recruit? "
She was unfamiliar with the eighth galaxy, and her eyesight was dark. In this era where the medical bay was enough to deal with most injuries, the Silver Ninth Guard did not have the equipment for her in order to streamline the staff. Professional team doctors, even if a thousand medical cabins are mobilized, no one can decipher this mutant rainbow virus. What is the use of the medical cabins other than turning on red lights and administering nutrient solution?
At this moment, there was a sudden noise from the front, and a girl's voice came over: "Captain of the Guard!"
Turan looked up and saw Mint running towards her out of breath: "Captain of the Guard... One-eyed Eagle Uncle...I...we can't stop him..."
The next moment, gunfire rang out not far away, Mint trembled violently, and all the Silver Guards raised their guns, pointing at the menacing One-eyed Eagle.
Mint exclaimed: "Don't do it!"
Ever since Bai Yin Jiu airborne, One-Eyed Eagle has not been seen in public. Apart from always chasing and blocking Lu Weixing like a chicken mother, preventing him from surrounding Lin Jingheng, he looks like a bad-tempered person. The retired old cat squatted in a corner with an unhappy face. He didn't care about the outside world. Even if he was furious, he didn't bother to stretch out his claws to scratch anyone two feet away.
It was only then that Turan suddenly realized that this man had grown up under the high-pressure and tyranny of Prince Gloria. He had experienced war and licked blood on the tip of a knife.
The one-eyed eagle held the muzzle of Bai Yinjiu's gun against his chest. He turned a blind eye and rushed in without stopping.
Turan shouted sternly: "Whatever you do, put down your guns!"
The soldiers of the Silver Ninth Guard stood at attention collectively, put away their laser guns, and placed the one-eyed eagle in front of her.
The one-eyed eagle's heterochromatic eyes were full of blood. He rushed to Turan with a gun in hand and asked her: "Where is that bastard Lin Jingheng?"
Turan glanced at his expression and said to himself, if there is no trouble today, I will have to take over for the boss. Get a beating.
"The general and Principal Lu are isolated over there together," Turan said carefully, "I will explain this to you..."
The one-eyed eagle made a "click" and pulled down the safety of the laser gun.
Turan shut her mouth, hoping that the One-Eyed Eagle would stop hitting people in the face for the sake of being a beautiful girl.
But unexpectedly, the one-eyed eagle did not take action. He just put the laser gun back on his waist and asked her: "What do you want?"
Turan: "..."
She suspected for a moment that there was something wrong with her ears.
"I'm asking you, what do you want?" One-eyed Eagle raised his voice impatiently, "Does Lin Jingheng really think that after staying here for five years, he has figured out which way the door of the Eight Galaxy opens? Medical equipment, Can you get supplies and people who can manipulate viruses?"
Turan almost knelt down and called his father: "I want it! I want it all! As many as I want!"
The one-eyed eagle snorted heavily: "Give me people!"
Turan said happily: "Everyone on the three ships, one row on the four ships "Everyone, follow him. From now on, you will be completely under Mr. Lu's command. You can do whatever he asks you to do without asking me for instructions!"
The One-Eyed Eagle turned around and left.
Turan quickly said: "Wait, Teacher Lu, you don't have to worry..."
The one-eyed eagle stopped for a moment, looked back at her with eyes of different colors, and said word by word: "He If something happens, Lin Jingheng can't afford to pay. You generals know this very well, so I'm not worried."
The Silver Ninth Guards moved quickly, and soon, two teams of small mechas followed the Eighth Guards. The famous gangster of the galaxy flew to the eighth galaxy, which was like a backwater.
In addition to the bombed Gloria Star, Beijing Beta Star and Egret Star, there are also many bleak planets and many bleak people. They live in the cracks like zombies. When they smell the smell of storm, they tuck their tails between their legs. Counting the sunrise and sunset in panic. But the one-eyed eagle knows that this place was not hopeless from the beginning.
Many people once thought about becoming heroes, but later they became accustomed to the fate of heroes, and then they became arms smugglers who lived and drank, became mediocre interstellar civil servants, and became indifferent gangsters on various planets. elements.
From 136 to 276 in the New Star Calendar, one hundred and forty years passed, and the world went through a lot of changes. The planetesimals in the asteroid belt were born, and then disappeared.
They and the galaxy are old.
The one-eyed eagle released its sight along the spiritual network.
He thought: "Can I ask you to help me again?" "
The experimental materials for the mutant rainbow virus should have been destroyed by us unintentionally. Traditional antibodies cannot work, and the traditional disinfection, inactivation and blocking effects are unknown. ," Turan quickly said to Hope, "It's too late to say sorry now. We really don't have medical research and development capabilities. We can only rely on the backup of the culprit. If the archive material of the new rainbow virus cannot be found, if the mutation If the virus spreads a little without the characteristics we don't understand, the population of 1.8 billion on Daystar will be over!"
Hope looked solemn: "I'm sorry, I didn't think carefully. I didn't expect that the rainbow virus was a variant. These people It's so crazy... Just let me think about it."
Turan was very flexible and stretched. She thought: "When this is over, I will break your waist."
She gave the pirate a ninety-degree bow sincerely. : "Sir, it's all up to you."
"Captain of the guard, don't be like this," Hope quickly grabbed her, "Our ancestors went into exile outside the territory and traveled through difficult paths for the benefit of all mankind. Thousands of years of inheritance have taught us... We are all reverent of life, and we are not doing anything to harm others for the sake of our own expansion."
This anti-Ukrainian cult member was unexpectedly civilized. He was so angry that he didn't say any curse words. He frowned and walked around in circles a few times. As if he suddenly made up his mind, he gritted his teeth and said, "Captain of the guard, this is a difficult choice for me. Please listen to me carefully. I really may not have the courage to say this kind of betrayal of the organization." Second time."
Turan's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but hold his breath.
Lu Bixing took a breath, let Zhanlu run automatically, and sat down to rest for a while.
"What do you think?"
Lin Jingheng shook his head without looking away from the personal terminal screen. On the other side, Turan was reporting something to him.
Lu Bixing exhaled and hit the mask. The mask of the isolation suit has a waterproof vapor adhesion function. The water vapor dissipates quickly and you won't feel suffocated. If Yu William's description is correct, the incubation period of the mutant rainbow virus transmitted through contact and air It should be one to two days. It was just one night and he didn't feel anything yet, but the virus might have filled his blood.
Lu Bixing's mind has not stopped since he learned the news, analyzing how Lin Jingheng's instructions were executed. He recalled Yu William's words over and over again, wishing he could pull out every punctuation mark of his and check them all over. Then he dazzled and talked to Zhan Lu Join others in searching for potentially infected people.
When he closed his eyes, he saw red threads circling around in front of his eyes. He let it go for a while, feeling that the thoughts he had deliberately shielded surged up like revenge, almost drowning him in them.
At first, he didn't take the rainbow virus seriously because it was a familiar old friend. He looked at smallpox like people who had acne in ancient times. They knew it was serious but didn't find it scary.
But later, things went wrong one after another. First, there was a mutation, and then it was learned that the virus laboratory in transit was accidentally shot down by Lin Jingheng.
To be fair, from Lu Bixing's point of view, it was not a desperate situation at this time, but every incident revealed signs of misfortune, which made a materialistic atheist feel uneasy.
Lin Jingheng cut off the call with Turan, raised her head and met his eyes.
Lu Bixing stared at him blankly for a while, then suddenly said out of nowhere: "General, if you can take off the isolation suit, can I kiss you? There are only two situations when you take off the isolation suit, either we both Not being infected and escaping from death, a little special celebration is not too much, right? Or we are all infected and are about to die. This is the only wish I have left."
"I won't let you die," Lin Jingheng stood up. He stretched out his hand and said, "Zhan Lu, I need a mecha with no people and complete disinfection equipment. Hope just explained that the order he was ordered to move the laboratory was issued by the core organization of the Anti-Black Society. He just gave the anti-Black Society The coordinates and path of the lair."
Just as Lu Bixing allowed himself to indulge in emotions, he was forcefully pulled out by Lin Jingheng. After being stunned, he asked, "Do you believe him? Are you not afraid that this is a trap?"
"He took the initiative to accept Turan's advice. "Polygraph detection," Lin Jingheng paused, "As the vanguard of the Silver Ten Guards, the polygraph detection technology and equipment they carry should be top-notch in the alliance, but to prevent a small probability event from happening again, I will go there alone this time..."
Lu Bixing was about to object immediately, but was interrupted by Lin Jingheng raising his hand: "You don't need too many people to investigate and be a thief. I can only bring one Zhan Lu - have you heard of the famous Battle of Leon Fortress?
" The Battle of Leon Fortress─Before Lu Xin, the Alliance sent troops to test the eighth galaxy, raided the Leon Fortress at the junction of the seventh and eighth galaxies, and stuck a nail in Prince Gloria's toe, trying to use it as a springboard for a full-scale attack The eighth galaxy finally failed.
Prince Gloria attacked the Leon Fortress, using self-driving mechas to carry unarmed civilians as the vanguard. The Alliance army never dared to launch missiles at the crying civilians, so they had to rob the opponent's mechas of authority and try to capture... but the result was that they captured A group of "human biochemical bombs" carrying various deadly viruses were encountered.
The alliance forces were caught off guard and suffered heavy losses. They were later attacked by the pirate armed mecha team that arrived later and were forced to evacuate the Leon Fortress. They failed in this confrontation and subsequently... Promoted the development of "comprehensive antibodies".
"I will repay him with his own methods." Lin Jingheng said, "Zhan Lu, stay with the processor and continue the search. Let's go."
Lu Bixing grabbed him and said, "The search can be run automatically. I want to go with you."
Lin Jingheng: "No..."
"If I were trapped here alone, I might have to write a suicide note while forcing a smile; if you were trapped here, I might have cried." Lu Bixing said, "But when we are together, I feel that no matter what, We can all face it. Even if we are destined to die, and we are really desperate, being able to go to the last second with you is probably the luckiest way to die... Of course, I know you don't think so. I'm sorry. This is the first time I have said such selfish words at the expense of others."
Lin Jingheng seemed to be stunned by his almost reckless frankness, and was speechless for a moment.
Lu Bixing laughed at himself: "In love, disordered hormones bring about hysterical desire for exclusivity, jealousy and insatiable desire. I haven't experienced the full set yet, and it has become a bit disgusting. I'm sorry again... If you hate me a little, Will you feel a little less stressed? "
Lin Jingheng is definitely a person who does not change his expression until death. Lu Bixing still remembers the first thing he did after he woke up when he narrowly pulled him out of the exploding mecha. Just get angry at him.
What does death mean to him?
The relationship didn't reach that level. Lu Bixing didn't even have time to dig into it. He just took a glance at it and already found it very unbearable.
But with Lin Jingheng's city, he could actually observe that he was panicking, and he could figure out the reason even if he just ruled it out.
The secret feeling of being flattered and the clear feeling of being heartbroken were intertwined, making him unable to breathe easily.
Lu Bixing: "I want to go with you."
Fifteen minutes later, a small mecha disguised as a miniature passenger starship flew away from Venus. This journey will last more than twenty hours.
At the same time, a sparrow flew to Galaxy City, landed on the window sill of a house, and preened its feathers. Forty-eight hours ago, it had been picking up garbage outside an old factory.
The window opened, and a malnourished little girl stepped on her feet and handed a handful of bread crumbs to the birds.
Birds chirped and jumped over, and one of them pecked the girl's finger before she could retract it.
