Chapter 106

　The twins never imagined that one day, they would be forced to hide on the territory of the Management Committee and use the encrypted jump point of the Eden Test Base to send remote signals.

　The huge long-distance communication network spreads out through countless jump points like ripples in water, leaving traces at each jump point. When the wandering Silver Ten Guards pass through these jump points with the corresponding keys, the mecha will The information will be automatically read and a two-way connection established. During this period, the coordinates of the sender cannot be changed, and the twins can only temporarily settle in the Eden Experimental Base.

　Lin Jingshu arranged a very luxurious suite for them, with specifications that could accommodate representatives of the Alliance Parliament. As soon as Thomas Yang entered the door, he stretched like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world, and then gestured to the mirror. He put a "V" on his head: "It's so luxurious, so polite!"

　Poisson Yang's eyes flashed - almost all the technical geeks who spent their middle school years together had played this game. They agreed on a set of passwords that only the other party could read, euphemistically called it to "save the world"... but later they were basically used to cover each other when playing games and watching porn.

　The sign that the twins began to communicate in secret language was to make a "V" gesture above their heads. In a sentence, each syllable was scrambled according to a fixed algorithm and reordered to spell out a new sentence.

　What Thomas meant was: "Is there surveillance?"

　Poisson: "I'll find a way to detect it."

　"Don't act rashly. Just now I secretly scanned a man in a white coat in the base. The radiation on his body was like a The walking signal station constantly exchanges information with all the surrounding instruments. At first, I thought that a small Garden of Eden had been created locally in the test base, but the amount of radiation was far higher than the alliance's safety standards. Then a warning appeared on my personal terminal. , saying that this thing is probably still interfering with his brain waves."

　"Opium."

　"Yes, opium." "

　How can the confidentiality level of the Eden Experimental Garden be so casual to accept outsiders? And there is no one among the thousands of researchers in the entire base. Objecting, Lin Jingshu should not have such unreasonable control. "

　"Do you believe her? She is General Lin's only sister."

　"...The sister who has not been in contact for decades."

　"The Gedeng family is still alive. It's really cursed. Do you think Old Gordon is still alive?"

　"If she is so scheming and can get the power of Eden without telling everyone in the center of the alliance, do you think she will be so careless and let us get to the base? Did you find her flaw?"

　"You make it sound like we are going to be silenced soon."

　"That's exactly what I want to say. Is it necessary for us to risk staying here?"

　"Let's go, Shirogane Juwei. Reply to the remote signal, who will be replied to, and who will be contacted?"

　Thomas Yang was lying on the big bed as soft as a cloud, rolling around lazily, but his eyes came out of the gap in the latex pillow and gave His brother gave a serious look, and he was talking like a country soldier who had never been to the city, babbled nonsense like "I regret joining the army, I should enjoy my life", but the translated secret text was: "I have always wanted to say... "The general just ordered us to activate the backup center, and the jump point near Angel City was blocked later. Who responded so quickly?" Who has been monitoring us? "

　The two of them have been in the old marshal's personal guard, and they were Lin Jingheng's at first. A letter of recommendation was given directly to secretary Wang Ailun, and the old marshal personally arranged the positions for them. Other than that, no one knew that these two unknown technicians were from Baiyin San. Thomas Yang claimed to play the role of the back door. The dandy Yanai plays the role as he is...

　then...who is it?

　A layer of coolness ran down the back of Poisson Yang, and suddenly I felt like I was immersed in a sea full of glaciers. There were icy cold seawater in all directions, and there was no way to escape.

　Poisson Yang was silent for a while: "Don't embarrass yourself in front of Miss Lin... I haven't watched the news for several days. Give me a few minutes of quiet time."

　Of course, he didn't really want to watch any "news". This paragraph It was made up. After decoding, it means: "Could Miss Lin be related to opium, or even...she is the owner of opium?"

　Thomas Yang pretended to be cheerful and smiled: "What a shame, the general's family is not us. One of our own?"

　If so, what would the general think?

　Poisson Yang was speechless. In order to prevent anyone from seeing any flaws in the room, he had no choice but to sit aside absentmindedly, follow the nonsense he just said, and open his personal terminal to browse the "news" aimlessly.

　Strictly speaking, the so-called "news" at this time is unsupervised gossip. After the network and communications are disconnected, people can only huddle in small groups, with a small group of people surrounding a crappy network engineer. Build a simple network within a small area. Different networks use different protocols. However, under certain circumstances, they can also communicate with each other, spread some gossip to each other, and illegally buy and sell emotional drugs and the like - similar to the repeated bans before the war. "underground network".

　It's a pity that now there is only the "underground network".

　Poisson Yang flashed through a series of messy messages with concern, but his mind still stayed on General Lin, the frightening sister. Suddenly, his eyes caught something.

　Thomas Yang saw that his body stiffened and his center of gravity suddenly moved forward, and he quickly put his head in to see.

　It was a recording video circulated on the underground network, titled "The Mystery of the Fall of Silver Fortress You Never Expected (Military Recorder Video Included)".

　Military recorders are cutting-edge technology for space mechas. It is difficult for civilians to edit and imitate them, so their authenticity is relatively high.

　What was captured in the video should be a mecha transceiver station. A certain mecha pilot operated illegally and forgot to turn off the military recorder when leaving. The recorder happened to be facing the mecha parked opposite it, allowing people to clearly see it. Body model.

　In order to evolve peacefully, after the Glory Regiment occupied Votto, they often boasted about themselves on the underground network to promote brainwashing. Therefore, many people recognized that the mecha that was photographed was the car of the President of the Glory Regiment.

　Sure enough, the next moment, the president himself appeared in the camera. He usually walked and said something to the assistant who was following him. Poisson Yang opened the "lip reader" applet on his personal terminal and quickly scanned out what the other person was saying. What.

　The president said: "How come the news about him in the eighth galaxy was leaked to the Anti-Ukrainian Association?"

　The assistant replied: "It should be just an accident, but the situation is not good. Those crazy dogs of the Anti-Ukrainian Association were what we thought He was a stepping stone and tricked the alliance into giving him lives and meritorious service. Now that he has realized it, he doesn't know how much he hates him."

　The president said, "Lin Jingheng is an old friend of ours. Over the years, we have helped each other to achieve our goals. Today, we have to think of a way. Now we are stuck in the first galaxy, beyond our reach. Can you use the alliance's remaining defeated troops to stop the anti-Ukrainian mad dogs?"

　The assistant said something else, but the angle was different. Relationship, their mouths can no longer be seen, and the video ends abruptly.

　This news traveled through the overlapping underground networks like a virus, causing thousands of waves with one stone.

　What does it mean that "Lin Jingheng is our old friend"?

　An hour later, another military recorder video with an analysis report became another hit.

　The video was taken from a scene of Lin Jingheng chasing the Anti-Ukrainian Society near Hongxiaxing, but it had no beginning and no end, and it subtly did not show the signs of the Anti-Ukrainia Society. It can only be seen that two parties are fighting. Who is fighting whom and why is unknown.

　Attached to the bottom of the video is a lengthy analysis report, analyzing the attack mode of the Silver Nine and the unreasonable scanning radius of the mental net of the conspicuous Chongsan.

　In fact, most people don't understand what combat mode analysis is, and they don't know what the scanning radius of the heavy armor mental network should be. However, two military recorder videos have been released one after another, and some people have made conclusive conclusions. , just to make everyone believe that Lin Jingheng is still alive, hiding in the eighth galaxy, and was once an internal agent of the pirates' glorious group.

　No one is investigating whether the logic here can withstand scrutiny and whether those ambiguous words are true and reliable. People are not prosecutors and have no obligation to ensure a complete chain of evidence.

　If something seems to be that way, then it is that way.

　Everyone who lost the Garden of Eden because of the war was like a homeless wild dog. Suddenly, there was an answer to why the impregnable Silver Fortress fell and why their lives were destroyed.

　Before that, they hated the Alliance rebels, and they hated pirates who were not of our kind...and their hatred of pirates was often divided into two, because there was no place for their hostility, and people often had conflicts because of the "anti-Ukrainian society." Who should bear the main responsibility in the Glorious Regiment?" They held each other for a while.

　After that, they turned neatly towards Lin Jingheng, as if their real anger flowed into the sea.

　The "wild dogs" collectively staged a rabies outbreak.

　The angry voices soon alerted the center of the alliance.

　Three hours later, the Angel City Fortress officially spoke out, saying a lot of nonsense such as "The matter is still being verified, and we will not be fooled by some people and launch troops rashly."

　But the meaning behind this nonsense is obvious - Lin Jingheng "died" in the first galaxy at that time, under the surveillance of the Garden of Eden. How much noise did the Alliance Central Committee make in order to commemorate him? If the rumors are groundless, shouldn't the City of Angels come out and categorically refute them?

　This ambiguous attitude just proves that Lin Jingheng does have a way to escape from the surveillance of Eden!

　The seventh galaxy next to the eight galaxies──

　"General An, the anti-Ukrainian society has retreated to the fortress and is increasing its troops, so is that true?"

　Before the war, the seven major galaxies did not have military autonomy. The garrisons in various places were called "galaxies." "Resident Central Army", these Central Army are purely decorations. Without central orders, they cannot mobilize troops without authorization, and they cannot even open a mecha depot. Once a general is sent to the Central Army of an outer system, it is equivalent to being exiled.

　The "exile general" of the Seventh Galaxy is named Ancru. He is a short middle-aged man in his early 200s. He is one of Lu Xin's old subordinates. He was "suppressed" by Lin Jingheng and sent to the Seventh Galaxy.

　This person is usually quiet and has a quite easy-going temperament. After being exiled to the Seventh Galaxy, he got along very well with the Central Military Supervision Commission and local government officials. The look of retirement.

　No one expected that as soon as the war broke out, Ancru led people to break into the Supervisory Committee as soon as possible. He tortured the members of the Supervisory Committee and forced them to surrender their military power. They took down the armed forces and entrenched themselves in the seventh galaxy.

　The rebels who invaded the seventh galaxy will go back and forth with them, each with its own victory or defeat. It is precisely because of the stalemate in the war here that the eight galaxies can take the opportunity to breathe.

　"Lin Jingheng," Ancru tapped the table lightly, "it should be true, I received a message from Yerif."

　The guard asked, "Then what should we do? Why not just wait for both the pirates and the traitor to suffer losses?" Ankru

　stood up in thought, walked to the huge interstellar waterway map and stood still, squinting his eyes and slowly exhaling a puff of smoke: "But it is said... Zhanlu is in his hands, and it is the unparalleled one of General Lu Xin. If the sword falls into the hands of the Anti-Ukrainian Society, how will I explain it to the old guys after I die?"

　The young guard always liked to listen to stories about tragic heroes, and he looked at him with an angry look on his face.

　Ancru sighed: "The general was raised in the palm of his hand... It's so disappointing."

　In the new star calendar year 276 - later generations also called this year the "first year", at the end of July, the Anti-Ukrainian Association The first missile dragged the eighth galaxy under the searchlight.

　The Anti-Ukrainian Society was pressing heavily on the territory. Turan was ordered to personally garrison the outpost and launch a self-defense counterattack based on the asteroid "Transit" near the Seventh Galaxy. The Central Army of the Seventh Galaxy stood still and ceased fighting with the Anti-Ukrainian Society.

　The Eighth Galaxy Self-Defense Force, which was expanded with the legendary Silver Ninth Guard as the cornerstone, faced the menacing interstellar pirates, and the exchange of fire was extremely fierce.

　In early August, the planet "Transit" was lost. Turan pretended to retreat to the waterway. The Anti-Ukrainian Society pursued the victory and was ambushed. This was the most classic "victory with less" battle in history. The entire battle lasted for forty-eight hours. Annihilated the anti-Ukrainian society's super-time heavy armored army.

　In mid-August, with the acquiescence of Ankru of the Central Army of the Seven Systems, a large number of reinforcements from the Anti-Ukrainian Society arrived from the Fifth and Sixth Systems. The Self-Defense Forces of the Eight Systems were truly outnumbered and retreated for eighteen consecutive navigation days.

　At the end of August, the voices of grief and indignation in the league became louder and louder. Although Lin Jingheng has never appeared in public, and the evidence that he is still alive is still illusory, people have resurrected him in fantasy through collective imagination, and are living in fantasy. He was equipped with three heads and six arms, making him the incarnation of all evil gods throughout the ages.

　The director of the Eighth Galaxy made several public appearances to refute the rumors, but it didn't help - the Eighth Galaxy, a sewer, a director who looked like a monkey, lived in a bunch of scum who didn't know what they were saying, who wanted to listen to what they said? ? Can they pronounce and pronounce the Alliance standard language clearly?

　Poor mountains and rivers have their own unruly people. In troubled times, all kinds of monsters and ghosts come out. The eighth galaxy, a place rich in unruly people and monsters, took advantage of the crisis of the alliance to embrace rebellion. It is anti-human and anti-society. It is simply unreasonable. frenzied!

　Ancru, the Central Army of the Seventh Galaxy, was forced by the uproar of public opinion, and finally brought the armed forces and public anger to the edge of the Seventh or Eighth Galaxy.

　"Commander, if we continue to fight like this, the supplies will not be able to hold on."

　"If Hongxiaxing hadn't been blown up, we could have alleviated the shortage of living supplies within half a year. Why is it that it rains all night long when the house leaks?

　" The response to the recruitment was strong, and everyone who had just settled down and had a job was rushing to sign up for the militia. But Commander, the Space Force is not an army, and you can't just go to the battlefield with just a few trainings."

　Chief Edward was ill and rushed to the doctor: "Teacher Lu. Where is the basic mecha they made? If it doesn't work, produce a batch urgently!"

　"The military factory is not productive enough, Chief! We are almost out of missiles, and even the Central Army of the Seven Systems is here. If this continues, "Go on, we won't be able to wait until the Silver Ten Guards arrive."

　Commander Edward stood up suddenly: "I'll go see the Alliance Central Army in person! Prepare me a starship and mecha, and set off today! It's not General Lu Xin's old unit. The Free Alliance Army of our Eighth Galaxy was also General Lu Xin's old unit. If I, the old unit, want to ask that old unit, we deserve to die. Even if we are justified, can't we stand up and say something for ourselves?"

　"This ! It's too dangerous, Chief!"

　"Chief, calm down..."

　One-eyed Eagle was listening, and was so noisy by them that he left the meeting room quietly, intending to go out for a cigarette, but he was in the meeting. I met Lin Jingheng at the door of the room.

　Lin Jingheng didn't know how long it had been since he came, but he just listened quietly at the door without going in.

　"I came here to talk about war preparations. Military supplies are being used up faster than we thought." Lin Jingheng took a cigarette from his cigarette case unceremoniously, held it on his fingertips and asked him to light it. The one-eyed eagle flipped it over to him. She rolled her eyes, but she ordered it for him anyway. Lin Jingheng leaned against the wall, "The boss may now feel that it was a mistake to let me stay."

　"If he had a clear mind, he wouldn't think so," the one-eyed eagle said lightly, "If you leave the eighth galaxy, where can't you go? If you say disappear, disappear. What about the eight galaxies, can they also disappear collectively? Those giant babies who grew up in the Garden of Eden have nowhere to vent their anger, so they can only hate the eight galaxies. We They are still the target of public criticism. To put it bluntly, the giant babies dare not resist those who step on them. They only dare to hate those who refuse to be stepped on by them. I have already seen through this truth."

　Lin Jingheng fell silent in the smoke.

　One-eyed Eagle: "The Central Army of the Alliance..."

　He only said a few words, then closed his mouth, and his eyes met Lin Jingheng's. The two of them understood each other tacitly - at this moment, the Central Army of the Seven Galaxy can control the Eighth Galaxy. Regarding the battle situation, even if he chooses not to intervene and just sit back and watch, the chance of survival of the Eighth Galaxy will be greatly improved.

　Ancru, the commander-in-chief of the Central Army of the Seven Systems, is Lu Xin's old department. Logically speaking, among a hundred old commanders, none of them is as important as Lu Bixing.

　As long as they knew...

　Then, One-Eyed Eagle and Lin Jingheng spoke almost at the same time.

　Lin Jingheng: "No."

　One-eyed Eagle: "If you dare to take advantage of my son..."

　One-eyed Eagle said halfway before he realized what Lin Jingheng had just said and froze while holding a cigarette.

　A shadow flashed across Lin Jingheng's thinner face. A long time ago, he chose to conceal Lu Bixing's life experience in order to protect him. He even gave instructions when they drove the mecha together to search for rainbow virus antibodies. Zhan Lu, if it comes to a life-threatening situation, send Lu Bixing's information to Lu Xin's old department.

　But now...

　what would Lu Bixing think if he knew his bloody life experience?

　How would he view this wishful "protection" and concealment? Would he feel that their relationship was all because... he was Lu Xin's son?

　Lin Jingheng thought: "How should I explain?"

　The one-eyed eagle stared at him unexpectedly for a while, and gradually seemed to see something from the young general's obscure expression.

　Lin Jingheng avoided his gaze in embarrassment: "Can I commit suicide in front of a loser like Ancru? Don't be ridiculous, just do it if you want. Even if I have a broken mecha left, I will still deal with them."

　He After saying that, he turned around and left without stopping for a second. At the same time, he contacted the command center: "Tell Lu Bixing to come to me."

　After half a minute, the command center replied to him: "General, the damage rate of frontline mechas is too high. Urgent summons. Mecha technician, Teacher Lu led the engineering team to the front line."

　Lin Jingheng's scalp exploded.
