Chapter 110

Unlike the people of the eight galaxies who were hiding and almost cut off contact with the outside world, Ankru had his own armed forces and strongholds from the beginning. For more than a year after the war began, he actively worked with the scattered eight galaxies. The "Central Army" in each galaxy's separate territories, and even the alliance center, have established fixed communication channels.

　Especially the "Central Army" in various places. Thanks to Lin Jingheng, the so-called "Central Army" that was sent to various galaxies as guards of honor and decorations were almost all people who had fought under Lu Xin. After Lu Xin's death, political resources were cut off. , thus naturally forming a community of interests that helps each other and advances together.

　They sent a message at this time that Ancru could not ignore.

　The secretary walked up quickly, bent down, and quickly briefly summarized the cause and effect in Ankru's ear: "The cause of Yerif's death is a mystery, and the personal terminal information was leaked so quickly after his death, so the people in the Little Hummingbird Fortress are now reluctant to let him go. , insisting that he was assassinated, and searched the scene and Yelif's belongings thoroughly."

　Ankru asked: "Why is there such a big movement, what was found?" "

　A lot, including what he gave himself before his death. He had sent a letter to his personal guard, but I don't know why he didn't send it out to wait for suspicious things - but this is not the point. The important thing is that he has a set of things in his personal terminal that directly accuse the Alliance Central Committee of framed General Lu Xin. "The Eden Management Committee."

　Ancru turned his head suddenly, as if he could no longer care about the confrontation between the two armies in front of him. The corners of his eyes jumped nervously, and he asked word by word: "Is General Lu being attacked by the Central Bird of the Alliance?" If a high-ranking person dies

　after being convicted, most outsiders will either think he deserves it or think in the direction of conspiracy theories. Think he is a victim of the struggle for power and politics.

　Those who refuse to believe that Lu Xin betrayed the alliance will certainly think that Lu Xin was assassinated by some people in the center of the alliance.

　But this is ultimately unfounded conjecture and anger without a specific target.

　Ancru took a deep breath: "You tell me."

　The secretary said quickly: "You know, when General Lu Xin insisted on demanding military autonomy for the eighth galaxy, he ran into trouble at the center of the alliance..."

　In fact, this was not the case at the beginning. What Lu Xin asked for from the Alliance Central Committee on behalf of the Eight Galaxies was only the social welfare, infrastructure, financial support, anti-missile and defense systems promised by the Alliance, especially the latter two. Because the eight galaxies are too close to the outside world, they may be attacked at any time, and security is the cornerstone of all social development.

　However, the Eden Management Committee continues to obstruct it. Due to the high proportion of hollow brain syndrome, the eight galaxies do not have the conditions to construct a Garden of Eden. For the Management Committee, a place without a Garden of Eden is an uncontrolled wilderness. How can it A lot of social resources are wasted in that kind of place? It's simply nothing to do.

　Lu Xin, who had been a soldier for half his life, always said the right thing in the Military Commission. He was by no means a moderate who could sit down and talk politics in a leisurely manner.

　Therefore, he directly proposed that the alliance did not need to give money, and the promised things could be reneged on, but the eight star systems wanted military autonomy, and he would personally form the self-defense force. This later triggered a large group of alliance galaxies to collectively demand military autonomy. Lu Xin took a tough stance. After falling out with the Management Committee, he actually went beyond the parliament and approved the construction plan of the eight-galactic autonomous military base without authorization.

　"At that time, someone reported to the Eden Management Committee that Lu Xin adopted Lin Jingheng in order to obtain Laura Gordon's "forbidden fruit." This involved a large number of top-secret records and documents, including the identity of the reporter and the original audio. I don't know why, but it was Yerif got it, and now it has been made public. The Central Military Forces in various places are in an uproar, and all galaxies are calling for a ceasefire, demanding an explanation from Angel City, otherwise they will no longer be loyal to the alliance. "

　Ancru has never heard of what the "forbidden fruit" is. Something, and because it was so old and in a different field, he didn't realize who Laura Gordon was for the moment, but that didn't stop him from grasping the key points in a few words.

　Top-secret documents related to the cause of Lu Xin's death were suddenly made public. The "Central Army" - Lu Xin's old subordinates in various places had kept silent about this matter for thirty years. At such a chaotic time, they mutinied collectively.

　"General," asked Lin Jingheng, the person in charge of the escort force in the residents' car of the eighth galaxy, "we have targeted the enemy camp."

　"General," Ankru's secretary said, "may I ask for your next instructions."

　Lin Jingheng raised his hand . stand up.

　Ancru shouted categorically: "Shrink the wings and turn to the defensive camp."

　"Sir," Zhan Lu said, "The opponent seems to be preparing to retreat."

　Lin Jingheng's hand that almost fell stopped and said, "Wait a minute."

　"The opponent's encryption has been captured. The long-range signal seems to come from a distant galaxy." Lu Bixing said, "The jump points and communication technology of the Anti-Ukrainian Society cannot be learned in vain. Let's try to crack it. If it doesn't work, there is nothing we can do. After all, their technology has not been fully understood.

　" Armor is moving slowly, Ankru's sight passes through the mental network of the mecha, and various complicated parameters jump back and forth in his eyes.

　"What is the 'forbidden fruit'?"

　"It is the legendary program that can completely block the Garden of Eden. Now it can explain why Lin Jingheng is still alive."

　"Stop talking nonsense, who doesn't have a few Eden blockers? Declaration of freedom, what's the point? It's illegal!"

　"It's different, General An, the ordinary Eden blocker only blocks the function of Eden. You can not let it detect your body level, you can refuse Eden's medical intervention, and you can not even let Eden do it for your child. Basic education, but Eden is still everywhere. You use any program or artificial intelligence to interact with any machine, even if you take an elevator or use a smart toilet - the relevant data will be recorded by Eden. It can access and integrate this data to make accurate predictions about your personal thinking patterns and behaviors. The accuracy is so high that you can't imagine it. Yerif published a list of "criminals" and "potential criminals". The file is too big, so I can't repeat it. If the system determines that a person has anti-Eden and anti-Alliance tendencies, it will be put on the "potential" list, and this person will be secretly monitored. If there is any deviant behavior, the Alliance will immediately kill him or her. "Dead in the cradle."

　Ancru said slowly: "No wonder the detection rate is so high. It turns out that early detection and early prevention are achieved. I am also on this potential list, right?"

　The secretary acquiesced, and then said: "But " "Forbidden Fruit" is different. "Forbidden Fruit" is a secret backdoor opened by the White Tower Rebellion in the Garden of Eden. It can hide all your whereabouts and modify the database of the Garden of Eden. According to the files released by Yerif, if "Forbidden Fruit" is locked For a person, it can even automatically modify all the data of this person's life to match the setting according to the established character setting.

　In other words, for the Garden of Eden, the "forbidden fruit" is a real terrorism and can provide a person. A protective umbrella that disguises countless "criminals" as good people.

　"The Eden Management Committee must get the forbidden fruit, otherwise they don't know how many "ghosts" are hidden inside, and how many people have had their data modified by the forbidden fruit. And Lu Xin must die, because a person without evil intentions will not Those who secretly control the "forbidden fruit system" will commit crimes in the future even if they have not committed a crime yet since they have left behind the "forbidden fruit"."

　"They fabricated charges and falsified evidence. The truth of this series of events has been recorded in the Management Committee. Judging from the information leaked by Yerif, they called this operation "ghost hunting," but it is different from ordinary politics. Struggle, in that "ghost hunting" operation, the Management Committee broke through the bottom line of the Declaration of Freedom and the law. They accurately set a plan, from rumors and groundless reports to evidence one after another. At every node, through the Garden of Eden, it gives an instant micro-stimulation to everyone who hears and sees the news. As long as this person does not block the Garden of Eden at that time, he will unknowingly be amplified by the Garden of suspicion, anger, and jealousy. And malice."

　Ancru nodded silently, thinking, no wonder.

　No wonder Lu Xin had to flee in a hurry on the eve of the public trial despite clearly not having done those things.

　Because high-ranking officials of the Alliance Central Committee are being tried, a "national jury" system is used. Every non-public citizen can voluntarily join the jury system and vote after listening to the court records in real time online.

　"Tell your colleagues and comrades-in-arms in various galaxies," Ankru said in a deep voice, "I am with my brothers - withdraw!"

　Whether Yerif is a traitor in the alliance, or whether Lin Jingheng colluded with the pirates, there is no question It makes sense. Since the Central Military Forces everywhere are excited, they should have confirmed the authenticity of these documents.

　From the moment these top-secret documents that should have been kept at the bottom of the Management Committee's box are leaked, all those who have followed Lu Xin, formed gangs and established themselves in the world in this capacity, must consciously wear " "Rebellion" hat.

　At first, Ankru thought that Yerif's suicide was caused by pirates, and that he used poor and poor methods to get Lin Jingheng out. Only then did he realize that this incident was much more premeditated than he had imagined. The people behind the scenes were able to obtain the top-secret documents of the Management Committee. At this juncture when everyone was trying to fish in troubled waters, they completely muddied the waters, hoisted the Declaration of Freedom high, and then stepped into the mud for everyone to see.

　The Alliance... no, the foundation of the entire New Star Era civilization was shattered. From then on, the declaration of glory and freedom became lies and jokes.

　Then what is left in the eight galaxies and the vast sea of ​​​​stars is the naked struggle for survival and the law of the jungle.

　"General, the Central Army of the Seventh Galaxy suddenly left!"

　Lin Jingheng: "The carrier starship evacuated at full speed."

　"The other party sent you a message."

　Lin Jingheng raised his head unexpectedly.

　"Commander Ancru of the Central Army of the Seventh Galaxy greets General Lin: I still remember that more than thirty years ago, I accompanied General Lu Xin to your entrance ceremony. The current situation was chaotic. Please take care of yourself."

　"Ah, let's go, remote encryption The crack has not been completed yet!" Lu Bixing listened and asked inexplicably, "He means that he held up the missile and robbed the road halfway. Suddenly he remembered that he had attended your opening ceremony, and his heart softened. Let's talk about old times and stop fighting?"

　Lin Jingheng didn't bother to answer him. Turan had been cornered by the anti-Ukrainian gang. A weapons depot had been wiped out. The protective shield on the scarred mecha had completely collapsed. She felt that she was almost there. You can rush into the enemy formation and explode yourself.

　It is less than 20,000 kilometers away from the jump point.

　They could not take another step back.

　Turan gritted his teeth: "Team up! Send out your last words."

　"Everyone," Turan has heard this phrase many times since joining the army. This is the first time she has said it in person. She feels a little embarrassed because she said it. It's too shameful to come out, but there is nothing you can do about it. Tradition is tradition. "If you are shattered into pieces in the universe, the remains will drift in the eternal night. One day, they will be annihilated in the collision and become part of the stars. The soul will return to its hometown, back to where you started." The place, the place you are sworn to defend to the death - Freedom Declaration Ten Thousand..."

　"Guard Captain, emergency jump, retreat!"

　Before Turan could say the word "Sui", he was hit by an order from the command center on the communication channel. Broken.

　Turan was speechless and could only smile: "You bastard, do you have to wait until I finish my performance?"

　The next moment, they, the self-defense forces who were being chased, made a collective emergency jump, and the anti-Ukrainians were chasing after them. After chasing through the jump point, they met Lin Jingheng and some reinforcements from the escort team. Before they could get out of the jump point, they were beaten all over the head as if they were waiting for something to happen.

　"It's a trap, retreat quickly!"

　The pirates formed a team in a hurry and were about to retreat strategically when they were suddenly hit by heavy firepower from behind - the Central Army of the Seventh Galaxy, which had just blocked the civilian waterway, detoured behind the Anti-Ukrainian Association at some point. , fished in troubled waters and got a dirty hand, blowing up the majestic super-time heavy armored regiment of the Anti-Ukrainian Society and turning them upside down.

　The anti-Ukrainian pirates were defeated and fled. The Central Army of the Seven Systems stayed far away for a moment and lowered their guns towards the Self-Defense Forces of the Eight Systems. Then they flashed the flag of the Central Army of the Seven Systems on their fuselage and left.

　Just when they were inexplicably out of trouble, the alliance was in chaos. Less than three hours after Yerif's secret files were exposed, the Eden test base was attacked by unknown armed forces. The entire base was wiped out, and the spokesperson of Eden Lin Jingshu is missing.

　The bombing of the Eden Experimental Base was considered a blatant retaliation. Subsequently, the alliance's major military fortresses were attacked to varying degrees, and interstellar pirates also took advantage of the situation.

　Twenty-four hours later, the Alliance Central Committee issued a statement, promising to strictly investigate all persons involved in the case of General Lu Xin, and to determine the authenticity of various information sources as soon as possible. Please remain calm and restrained at this juncture of internal and external troubles, and do not be fooled. people take advantage of.

　But this statement was so weak, and it was too late -

　just when the alliance center was trying to put out the fire, a military fortress named "Alaska" in the alliance was attacked by unknown armed forces. Due to the untimely response, the protective shield of the military fortress A hole was blown open, and the falling missile happened to blow up the "demilitarized zone" on the military fortress - the place where family members of the military and non-military service personnel were accommodated. The victims included a pair of underage children of the fortress commander. . The commander of the Alaska Fortress was filled with grief and anger. He disobeyed orders and led his men to fight against a nearby central army station.

　This time, there was no Eden to provide slight stimulation, but the conflicts between the alliance and the Central Army in various places seemed to be added to the fire, and it got out of hand with lightning speed.

　The Alliance, the Central Military Forces from various places that were originally under the Alliance, and the interstellar pirates fought together, tearing open countless rifts in the Alliance that was already shrouded in darkness.

　A group of ghost-like mechas left the vicinity of Angel City Fortress, traveled through the vast universe, and headed for the mysterious secret base of the Freedom Corps. Lin Jingshu, who was supposed to be wiped out with the Eden Experimental Base, and her zombie-like researchers were unscathed. , have all changed out of their stupid white coats.

　Lin Jingshu quickly walked through a glass plank road inside the heavy armor and walked into the laboratory on the ground floor. Experiments were being conducted behind the protective glass. Sixteen people of different ages and genders stood in a row, all naked and shivering. A man with a fanatical expression wearing a striking orange vest stood in front of them.

　The experimenter used the microphone and said to the orange vest inside: "Let the odd number of people come out, step forward, and line up in two rows."

　The orange vest pressed the earphone and nodded to the monitor. I saw that he neither spoke nor did anything. Any gesture, as if just relying on brain waves, made the sixteen people in front of him spontaneously obey the order and stand in two rows.

　The experimenter glanced at the time spent and recorded the data. Then, a row of sharp axes lowered from the roof of the laboratory, landing right in the middle of the two rows of "experimental objects."

　The experimenter said: "Order the people in the back row to pick up the ax and kill the person in front of them as quickly as possible. The person who was killed should stay at attention until they die."

　The orange vest made an "ok" gesture to the monitor. , the next moment, the sixteen "experimental subjects" in front of him were like puppets, perfectly completing the two actions of slashing and "killing without moving".

　An old man in the laboratory stood up: "Jingshu is here, take a seat."

　"The 'second generation' of opium seems to be very successful," Lin Jingshu said happily, "the second generation suppresses the first generation, and in the future we will create third generation chips , suppressing the second generation, encouraging everyone to keep climbing up, with clear classes and high efficiency. This kind of society is an ideal society. Idiots should have their own way of living, right? Don't let them make trouble with declarations of freedom? "

　The old man was silent for a moment: "This was not your mother's original intention of making this chip."

　"But we didn't get the complete technology," Lin Jingshu laughed. "We can only use it freely, right, Dr. Harden? ?"

　That old man was actually Dr. Harden, the first person in charge of the White Tower, who should have committed suicide in prison!

　Harden was silent for a while: "You have messed up the battle situation like this. Aren't you afraid that the Silver Ten Guards will be blocked on the road and Lin Jingheng will not be able to wait for anyone in the eighth galaxy?"

　Lin Jingshu shrugged: "Will the Silver Ten Guards still take the initiative to help? Into this mess? Besides, wasn't it because he was trapped in the eighth galaxy because he lacked weapons? Now that the enemy's targets have shifted, what's the use of him in the eighth galaxy when he has soldiers and weapons? ? Grandpa Harden, Lin Jingheng is not that stupid."
