Chapter 92

The one-eyed eagle was scurrying between the jump points. Unlike Lin Jingheng, he did not have the problem of drinking the soothing agent as coffee. It had been many years since he had been tortured by such a high dose of soothing agent. His muscles were twitching and tight. The nerves began to attack again, and the intercostal nerve on the left chest was like a rubber rope strangling his lungs, causing excruciating pain every time he breathed in and out. This made him bend down involuntarily and breathe more lightly. Over time, he became a little short of oxygen.

　While he was in such a state of disorientation, he realized that something was starting to go wrong - the pursuer had been thrown away.

　When he separated from Yu William, most of the trackers were on the side of One-Eyed Eagle. Several teammates suddenly appeared on the way and wanted to help him share some of the burden, but the other party seemed to have made up his mind and left the others alone. Jin only stared at him.

　The jump points nearby are not encrypted. If the One-eyed Eagle escapes in any direction, they can scan him through the heavy armor and catch up immediately. The One-eyed Eagle's backup energy has been sacrificed in the indiscriminate bombing, and the remaining ones He himself didn't know how long a little energy could last. In this case, it seemed that the pursuers were left behind only because they gave up on their own initiative.

　conspiracy? trap?

　A divine punishment, causing the enemy's boss to die suddenly?

　Or did the eighth galaxy suddenly fold as a whole, folding 10% of the silver far away in the morning star?

　The mecha's communication channel went blank, no one was around him, and the One-Eyed Eagle didn't know what happened to them.

　Remote contact requires knowing the coordinates of the other party, or leaving information at the jump point for the other party to actively check, and reverse linking - with the pursuers watching eagerly, the former cannot be done, and the latter is tantamount to seeking death.

　The one-eyed eagle pondered for a while in a myriad of thoughts, and had no choice but to tentatively pass through a few more jump points and walk in circles for a while to make sure that the pursuers had really lost interest in him. Carefully approach the underground channel.

　When they passed through the first encrypted hidden jump point on the underground channel, there was a reaction in the communication channel. It turned out that someone had arrived first.

　"The one-eyed eagle is back!"

　Every bright spot in the communication channel will trigger a burst of cheers.

　"No. 4 and No. 8 are here too. This is Unit 3."

　One-eyed Eagle slid down the main console next to him and collapsed on the ground without any strength. He bent down and pressed against the throbbing left rib, barely audible. The ground opened his mouth to respond: "I am No. 1...No. 6 was shot down."

　There was silence in the communication channel for a moment. Four mechas occupied four points, just arranged in a parallelogram, and flashed faintly in the communication channel. Light.

　When they arrived, three of the ten mechas were confirmed to have been shot down. The others were scattered unknown where, so they could only wait.

　The one-eyed eagle exhaled: "I'm sorry, everyone, you have done your best to help me by coming here. I shouldn't let you go on this trip again."

　The one on board No. 4, whose blood pressure has been unstable, said, "If we don't want to come, , I wouldn't have agreed to it in the first place, don't worry, Lao Lu, it's not because of anything else."

　The pilot on the No. 8 plane interjected: "Anyway, we are single, no matter what, it's okay, but Brother Bei is more worried. "

　The pilot in Unit 3 is very old. Everyone calls him "Brother Bei." It's still unclear whether "Bei" is his surname or first name.

　Brother Bei smiled: "I'm fine. Didn't I save some money before? I immigrated to the seventh galaxy with my wife and children in 216."

　There were many people in the communication channel denounced him and joked. Call him a traitor to the Eight Galaxies.

　"The Seventh Galaxy is great. There are service robots all over the street. If you sprain your foot while walking on the street, a robot will come over and ask you if you need help. Over there, everyone has a home and dignity. People can see you from a distance. Regardless of whether they know each other, they will nod to you. Do you know what's best? The driveways and sidewalks there are actually layered, and all the cars have automatic driving... Can you imagine that they never do that? There was a car accident!"

　The one-eyed eagle asked: "Isn't it great? Why are you back?"

　"No way, the official exchange rate of Qiba Galaxy is 106:1, but there is a limit on exchange. Our whole family can exchange up to five dollars a day. The Thousand Eight Galaxy Coins are really not enough, and their system is constantly under maintenance and transactions are closed. We can only go to the black money bank. The black money bank relies on immigrants to support it. , black money shops are illegal, you can call the police, as long as you call the police, the alliance government will immediately send a robot police team to seize their dens, but so what, you still have to use money, all the black money shops are in the same group, they can If you find out who called the police and find out that it was you, you will be finished. You will never get a penny from them again. Locals enter the Garden of Eden as soon as they are born, but foreigners cannot. Putting on the Garden of Eden is equivalent to nothing. An organ is installed on your body for no reason. To get used to it, you need a one-year training from a professional. You have to pay for the training yourself. It is so expensive that it will scare you to death. I have paid all my net worth in the eight galaxies. There is nothing left for the immigration application fee and training fee. The regulations say that if immigrants choose to return to their place of origin within one year, the application fee can be refunded, so I left them there and refunded my share of the immigration application fee, saving another person's money. Training fees, I can come back and make money to support them."

　"Why don't you look for a job in the Seven Galaxy?"

　"What can I do? The Seven Galaxy is not like this place like us. Most of the labor and service jobs are done by artificial intelligence, which requires artificial intelligence. There are few jobs for people. When people check your personal terminal, they hear that you are an immigrant and they will definitely not use you."

　One-eyed Eagle asked: "How is your family doing in such a mess now?"

　Brother Bei on plane 3. He was silent for a while: "When the pirates captured the Alliance, they wanted to sneak back to the Eight Star Systems to find me. On the way, they encountered the Alliance army and the pirates fighting, and were hit by stray bullets. At that time, all communications were cut off. I only found out about this more than a month later. I can't even catch them if I want to die... I have nothing to worry about. It's good to have something to do. Life or death depends on it."

　At this time, another mecha appeared on the communication channel. It was. Unit 5, everyone cheered again, and the dull heaviness and suppressed pain just now disappeared. After being separated for less than a few hours, meeting again was as exciting as friends who had been away from home for decades suddenly returning to their hometown for a New Year reunion.

　Then came Unit 9 - Unit 9 had some twists and turns. The pilot's nerves were probably stretched to the extreme. After finding the organization, he didn't even have time to say a word. He fainted and went offline. The backup pilot was busy rescuing him. Instead of taking over the mental net immediately, the mecha turned around and flew out, waiting for the five mechas in the underground channel to drag the fishing net together before pulling them back.

　Brother Bei asked: "Is he worse than the police inspector now? Why haven't you come yet?"

　One-eyed Eagle glanced at the time. Six hours had passed since he and William Yu separated. He should have been one step ahead of him. Yu William actually had no news at this time. Now his body had recovered a little and his mind had become much clearer. Thinking of the strange pursuers, his heart sank slightly.

　"Let's wait for him for another hour," Brother Bei suggested, "in case he doesn't come, or... we can't stay here all the time."

　No one had any objection, so they waited for an hour, but there was no news about William.

　The one-eyed eagle said, "Let's extend it for another hour. Maybe he got caught on the road."

　They waited for another hour, but there was still no sign of William.

　This time, no one said anything. The people in the six mechas seemed to have some kind of tacit understanding. They ignored the time and continued to wait indefinitely.

　After One-Eyed Eagle and the others left Kaixing, they had stopped at sixteen planets and space stations. Among the people they visited, some owned small military bases, some managed a city - the most powerful one was a man named " "Tiger Shark" is a former Free Alliance soldier who controls an asteroid with a population of 60 million. After the war destroyed the order of the galaxy, he has established himself as the chief executive. Everyone received them warmly, and the standards were not much worse than before the war. One-eyed Eagle almost thought that he had returned to the days of having fun in the Gloria Star Nightclub, but everyone had reservations about the independence of the eighth galaxy. view.

　When One-Eyed Eagle and the others rushed blindly to the underground channel, Yu William's personal speech was being played simultaneously in real time at the sixteen communication stations.

　William Yu drove the small mecha alone, followed his homemade map, and headed for the fake channel. He said slowly in the remote terminal: "My name is William Yu. I was born in the year 63 of the New Star Calendar, October 136 of the New Star Calendar. He joined the Free Alliance Army and was one of the earliest scouts. He later joined the Eighth Galaxy Alliance government, started as a policeman, and later became the Chief Inspector of the Eighth Galaxy Security Bureau..."

　He was like an embarrassed entertainer, pulling off a show in front of the public. He turned on the loudspeaker and performed alone, but there were people coming and going on the street. No one responded or stopped. Surrounded by the noise, he was immersed in his own world as if there was no one else around.

　In a not-so-engaging way, William Yu talked about why he wanted to join the Free Alliance Army, about his parents and younger brother who died from the Rainbow Virus, about his past dreams, and about his hopes for a comeback. He even described it for Chief Edward without any shame. He made a master plan for eight galaxies in the future. As soon as he mentioned medical care and education, his words stopped abruptly - the army's armed forces, which had been turned into a mess by the "wild wolves", silently blocked his way.

　The one-eyed eagle's judgment was very accurate. The traitor was among the people they visited. William Yu turned his head and glanced at everyone connected to the remote terminal, knowing that the traitor here had betrayed his coordinates and route very efficiently. Map, but the "friends" who received his call for help were still like voles watching a wolf catching a hare, tremblingly crowded at the entrance of the cave, just watching.

　William Yu laughed, turned on the military recorder, and took a picture of the siege surrounded by live ammunition. The picture was simultaneously transmitted: "In the year 239, I once had an opportunity to participate in a government exchange project and was dispatched to six star systems. My performance was probably okay at the time for further studies. They told me that I could stay and immigrate with my immediate family members. As long as I submitted an application, the Six Galaxy Guard General Administration would pay for the immigration fees. I thought about it for a long time and the application form was ready. After filling it out, I received a letter from the old chief—that was Chief Edward's former predecessor, now deceased—he said that he had just returned from a meeting in Voto, and that General Lu Xin was fighting for the rights of the eighth galaxy, the Capital Star Alliance. How can we be arrogant egoists when the general is still running? I didn't sleep all night after reading it. I deleted the application form from my personal terminal the next day and returned to the eighth galaxy. Because of this, I My lover broke up with me and has not contacted me for forty years."

　William Yu took back the military recorder and faced the remote port.

　"I regret it very much." He told his audience, "Returning to the eighth galaxy is the thing I regret most in my life."

　After saying that, he closed the remote port and rudely skipped the "goodbye" In this stage, the power system is turned to the extreme, all the missiles are loaded together, and they are fired towards each other like fan blades. Like a little ant, holding up its pincers, it rushes towards the flood and the beast without knowing its strength.

　It was impossible for these missiles to hit the opponent. Several protective mechas on the flanks easily intercepted the missiles. At the same time, the huge mental network of the heavy armor suppressed the human-machine interface of Yu William. His mental strength was powerless to resist the violent attack, and the human-machine compatibility plummeted like a cliff, dropping from 70% to 55% in twenty seconds.

　At this time, he was at least tens of thousands of kilometers away from the enemy's position.

　Yu William originally wanted to rush into the enemy formation and blow himself up. It would be a good thing if he could blow up one of them. But now it seems that even a suicide attack is a wishful thinking. He has been wishful thinking all his life.

　The human-machine matching dropped to 51%, and at the last moment, William Yu activated the mecha's self-destruction program.

　Immediately afterwards, his vision went dark and he was knocked off his mental net by the other party. The brain damage caused him to lose consciousness instantly. The enemy who took over the spiritual network soon discovered that the self-destruction program was locked and irreversible. There was no time to warn, and the countdown had already reached its end - the small mecha exploded into a small firework.

　The mecha's own combustibles and combustion-supporting gas quickly burned out, and the dark universe swallowed up everything. The wreckage followed the inertia and left the place, and even the body seemed cramped and hurried.

　However, at the moment when the remote connection was disconnected, someone finally moved at the contact station where the Sixteenth Office received the remote call for help.

　The two armed bases were the first to dispatch armed mechas. Immediately, about twenty small mechas and transport ships flew out from a planet. At the same time, with the remote communication station of this planet as the core, they quickly followed New long-distance communications have been launched between major bases and planetary coordinates -

　"The Vann Star support team is preparing to go to the target coordinates. We have twenty mechas and three additional supply ships. It is expected to arrive through the jump point in twenty minutes ...Are you all fucking dead or are you still eating shit?" "

　The Kaidi Satellite Base is still alive. We don't have many weapons. We only have six small mechas available. They are expected to be assembled and sent to the target coordinates in twenty minutes." "

　New York . The Star Self-Defense Force is ready and heading to the target coordinates. "

　"New Guardian has seen you, we don't have armed mechas, the supply ship will follow immediately-"

　The small spark that went out in a flash finally lit up the eighth. The fire of the galaxy has been dead for many years, and the ancient war song brings the immortal wind. The flames grow in response to the wind, and gradually become a raging force, stretching out of control into the vast and desolate starry sky.

　But the igniter could no longer be seen, his torch had been extinguished in the ocean of regret. His friends have been waiting in the agreed underground channel for nearly six hours. One-eyed Eagle and the others could not hold back and began to scan back and forth along the jump point where they were hiding, trying to search for any long-range signals and use the jump point to send long-range signals. Will be exposed to William himself and the coordinates of the underground channel. Logically speaking, Inspector Yu will definitely not do this, but what if...

　Suddenly, the one-eyed eagle scanned a weak signal. It was not sent to them, but through the jump. The net overflowed.

　The One-Eyed Eagle tried to use the communication key agreed upon by their small mecha team, but as expected, he was refused access. His heart skipped a beat - he was not one of his own.

　But generally speaking, only a large-scale remote communication will have signal overflow, and it seems that it should not be those sneaky enemies. The One-Eyed Eagle hesitated for a moment and accidentally tried another key - the abbreviation of the Free Alliance Army. The next moment, he connected to the remote signal!

　The one-eyed eagle's heartbeat began to accelerate, but the signal was too weak. In his frantic escape, half of the fuselage was damaged, and the amplifier had long since become space junk: "Which of your mechas has a signal amplifier?!"

　Unit 8 Immediately connected, everyone listened with bated breath, intermittent sounds came from the weak signal.

　"They sent out troops?" Brother Bei said in disbelief, "Come...to rescue us? But how do they know...that Inspector Yu sent them the coordinates?"

　One-eyed Eagle interrupted him: "Even if they are righteous, as long as Someone sent us the coordinates, and the enemy who ambushed us must have arrived first, be careful!"

　This sentence made everyone's nerves tense. However, after a moment of tense alert, the underground channel was still as quiet as death, and no abnormal energy could be caught.

　Immediately, in the weak remote signal, someone said: "We have arrived at the target coordinates, captured the abnormal energy source, and pursued at full speed!"

　Everyone was confused and looked at each other. Brother Bei asked inexplicably: "What abnormal energy are they talking about...capturing? Where are the target coordinates? Isn't it ours?"

　Then, someone suddenly said on the communication channel: "Inspector Yu seemed to be a scout back then, who was responsible for revising military waterway maps.

　The communication channel was silent for a few seconds, and the next moment, the No. 1 aircraft suddenly turned around and left.

　"One-eyed Eagle, what are you doing?" One-

　eyed Eagle did not answer. , they don't have heavy armor and can't conduct long-range scanning on the spot, so they can only use a stupid method - follow this overflowing long-range signal to find it.

　Several other mechas followed him and filed out of the shelter-like underground channel.

　The mecha army ambush that forced Yu William to self-destruct had an insider. The rabble from the eighth galaxy had received the news long before they sent out troops, and had already moved ahead. Although the reinforcements were generally large in number, they flew in from various planets and bases. Those who came out were all small teams of more than ten or twenty small mechas. They were nothing but scattered sand without fighting. The ambush soldiers did not take them seriously and retreated leisurely. They encountered two small mecha teams on the way. However, the eighth galaxy The small mecha team was vulnerable to the heavily armored legion that opened the way, and was quickly left behind.

　In the ambush legion, the commander on the heavy armor laughed contemptuously: "Kick away a bunch of old, weak, sick and disabled hyenas."

　"Yes!"

　A row of missiles from the ambush legion fired out, and the little mechas blocking the road scattered. He ran away and tried to fight back several times in anger, but was easily resolved by the other party.

　At this time, a row of high-energy particle cannons shot out from a nearby jump point and hit the ambush legion's heavy armor protective shield. Unfortunately, the energy was insufficient and was blocked by the protective shield. The commander of the ambush frowned and immediately heard his men coming. Reported: "Sir, it's the target mecha!"

　"Great, I was worried that I couldn't find them, so I sent them to my door." The commander sneered, "Chase!"

　At the same time, the reinforcements from the eighth galaxy came. I also saw: "It seems to be the One-eyed Eagle and the others!"

　The scattered reinforcements immediately tried to gather together, but the response was still slow. The One-eyed Eagle and the others were like a bunch of crazy ants, angrily using their mouthparts as big as rice grains. Bite the behemoth in front of them, fight and retreat, the ambush soldiers in heavy armor are like wild beasts that have seen blood, they open their bloody mouths and chase after them, trying to swallow them whole, countless mental nets are suppressing them, and the reinforcements are hanging behind. He keeps chasing him, but he is about to be left behind!

　In One-Eyed Eagle's communication channel, Units No. 4 and Unit 9 were disconnected one after another, and immediately fell into the opponent's circle. One-Eyed Eagle fired the final high-energy particle cannon behind him, and the human-machine matching was once again on the verge of disconnection——

　At this moment, half of the star sea was illuminated, and the light that went straight up and down penetrated the mecha's mental network, and the one-eyed eagle was stunned.

　The next moment, the ambush heavy armor suddenly and strangely stopped, and then the weapons depot was detached from the fuselage, and the mental net of the heavy armor was removed for a second!

　Immediately, a missile came over and directly exploded the weapons depot. The ambush legion's newly reorganized team was instantly in chaos.

　A ghostly fleet appeared silently from a jump point. In the blink of an eye, it appeared before its eyes, like a chasm standing between the ambush legion and the One-Eyed Eagle.

　From the morning star to the battlefield outside the territory, fourteen hours——
