Chapter 129: Aoxing, Necrosis, and the Girl
Compared to the internal network of the "backward rural" Ram Planet, the network defense capabilities of Aurelio Planet...
It's just lame.
Ao Star has a dense population and is one of the top 30 most populous stars in the New Federation.
Yang Ming's first impression of this place was the strong smell of fireworks.
It is like a beautiful girl who lifts her skirt slightly and winks at you. She is passionate and unrestrained, and accepts all spaceships traveling through the universe.
But when you take the vertical train to the surface, it suddenly becomes shy and starts to use its inner qualities to arouse your stronger interest and desire to explore.
The layout of Ao Star is somewhat similar to that of the Luofeng Empire's first star. The core area of Ao Star is also an alluvial plain.
Three giant cities connected by their edges fill the entire plain area, which gives it a simple nickname - the City of Three Cities.
Looking down from space, the three cities are like a huge maze that has trapped countless people for their entire lives and has also given birth to a rich local culture.
The keywords for the core urban areas of the three cities must be civilization, elegance, and artistic creation.
But when our attention moves to the outskirts of the three cities, gangs, red-light districts and addictive drugs become the new core elements.
On the way to the hotel, Yang Ming kept .
——This is actually a small request from Lu.
"What would it be like if a swarm of insects came flying at us?"
Yang Ming couldn't help but daydream.
But he recalled carefully that if he referred to the plot of the game "Abyss", the Sherman Empire had always been the hardest hit by insect plagues, and the New Federation camp did not have too many major "insect extermination" plots.
Instead of worrying about the citizens here, we should pay more attention to the innocent people in Luofeng Empire.
'It's a nice city.'
Yang Ming commented like this.
…
It only took Yang Ming half a day to complete the mission.
He randomly found a coffee shop, inserted a small memory stick into the coffee shop's network connection port, and left it there for a few minutes.
It is enough to leave the rest to Lu.
There are no black walls in Aoxing's online world, only thick firewalls.
With Lu's ability, if he wanted to invade the internal networks of several research institutes without alerting the other party, all he would have to pay was the cost of time.
According to Lu's estimation, she could probably finish it in four or five days.
Before going to bed, Yang Ming decided to communicate directly with the Feinan.
He first opened the paid third-level movie in the hotel, and a projection of a beautiful woman was projected directly onto the bed.
With this, Yang Ming "legitimately" activated the shielding device and wrapped up the bed.
A lot of young men do this.
After inserting the miniature earphones into the ear holes, Lu's voice immediately sounded:
"Boss, the invasion is progressing pretty well, and we'll get results in just eighty-five galaxy hours.
"Even if we can't find the formula we want here, we can still obtain a batch of relatively advanced biological science technologies from the New Federation."
Yang Ming was a little puzzled: "Isn't this too easy? Why don't other countries engage in espionage? This high-tech is like free."
Lu: "Boss, is there a possibility that they don't have a mechanical mind that can live on the Internet?"
"All right."
Yang Ming ignored the disgusting scene around him; he was not in the mood for entertainment.
"Lü, what do you think about that?"
He was still very cautious and did not mention the word "Zerg" directly.
"The decline of morality has refreshed my understanding of the bottom line of humanity."
Lu sighed softly:
“Boss, I don’t want to talk about this. It will make me feel disgusted with the human species. You just need to give me orders.
“There should be a limit to using any means necessary.
“I feel that even Dabic and his people are warmer than the decision-makers of the New Federation.”
"But, Ritsu, you have to remember."
Yang Ming said slowly:
"That's only a small number of people. The structure of human society is very complex. Most people are a mixture of good and evil, with most being good."
"Boss, I want to give 026 combat training!"
Lu smiled and changed the subject.
"Can we use the combat simulator on the Feinan, Boss?"
"Of course, you can do whatever you want, as long as you don't blow up the spaceship."
Yang Ming rested his head on his arm and reached out to touch the shadow of the woman next to him, his fingers sliding across the woman's neck without any feeling.
It's just a small film with relatively complex technology.
"Lv," Yang Ming whispered, "I want to go back to Ram Star again."
Lu asked seriously, "For bathing together in the hot spring?"
"To verify one thing," Yang Ming whispered, "I always feel that my abnormality at that time was not one-sided, and the other party should have shown some abnormality as well."
“Boss, I don’t recommend you go back.”
"Why?" Yang Ming asked back.
"I have looked up a lot of relevant information today, and there is no sign that the ancient god life forms and the space Zerg have ever had a direct conflict."
Lu analyzed carefully:
“Of course, perhaps the conflict breaks out beyond human sight.
“The ancient god life forms are huge individuals that float in the universe. Apart from mental interference, they don’t seem to have any other effective means of attack.
"When the queen evolves to the third stage, the Zerg colony can produce a combat power comparable to that of a human fleet. Once the queen evolves to the fifth stage... the ancient god life forms are more like prey."
Yang Ming said, "Humanity has done too little research on ancient god life forms. We don't know what price the Sherman Empire paid to defeat that ancient god life form."
He carefully recalled the feeling at that time.
Desire, instinct, inexplicable anger, and an extreme desire for battle.
It was as if the ancient god life forms and the space Zerg had an irreconcilable racial hatred.
If you feel it carefully, it's like seeing the 'best delicacy' and eating it will be a great tonic for you.
"I should be the predator," Yang Ming whispered.
Lu pondered for a few seconds and said, "This is beyond my understanding of life forms. My knowledge is still too shallow. I really want to go back and ask the three teachers for advice."
Yang Ming smiled and said, "When there are problems, I know to call the teacher, but when there are no problems, I always call the old guy."
"They are a bit disrespectful to their elders."
Lu warned anxiously:
"Boss, my suggestion is that once we find the formula for the enhanced injection, we should go back immediately. The New Federation is really too scary."
Yang Ming asked in return: "What if they use this method to attack us? We already control that area, which is equivalent to a huge resource. It can save us ten or twenty years of hard work."
Lu Dao: "Our secret base can also develop a powerful fleet within a few years."
Yang Ming said, "Lv, our secret base only needs to develop the power to protect itself at this stage."
"Okay," Lu responded a little depressed, "You are the boss, you have the final say."
"We can adopt Dabic's model," Yang Ming said with a smile, "I actually prefer this model."
Lu immediately became interested and discussed the development direction of Dark Star with Yang Ming.
"Okay, let's communicate via text from now on," Yang Ming said. "I feel a little uneasy about this method."
"Okay, boss! Good night, boss!"
"Good night," Yang Ming chuckled, "I'm going out for a walk tonight."
"Boss, your biometric information cannot be leaked here... Please maintain safety measures and absolutely do not kiss each other."
"I'm just going to have a drink to relieve stress! Am I someone who can't tell the difference between the important and the unimportant?"
Yang Ming gritted his teeth and cursed.
The lawyer thief smiled and hung up the call.
Yang Ming glanced at the projection beauty lying next to him, calmly put on his pants, and unhurriedly turned off the shielding device and projection device.
It's another day of missing Miss Windsor.
…
Two galactic hours later.
Ram Star, the crop field where Yang Ming had stayed for a short time.
More than a dozen hovercraft police cars with flashing lights surrounded the place.
The police were at a loss as they looked at the large areas of necrotic crops. Several crop-related bioengineers in white coats were collecting samples urgently.
The necrotic area spreads toward the periphery at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Police officers were soon asked to enter the fields and pull out the crops that were growing well, creating a buffer zone.
But this isolation zone obviously has no effect.
Within a few minutes, necrosis symptoms appeared on crops further out.
"It's a root infection or a biological factor infection."
"Get some large machinery here right away. We have to dig out all this soil... Hurry! Otherwise this could be a huge disaster! It's spreading too fast!"
Further away, Professor Pat's hovercraft was speeding towards them.
This is above their base, and there is this strange phenomenon of large-scale crop necrosis, which is probably related to those 'big treasures' they raise.
This was an unprecedented phenomenon, and Professor Pat felt he had to go there in person.
The dashcam of a police car turned slightly and recorded the situation here.
…
In the Feinan, the simulated gravity field was turned off.
026 was suspended in the combat simulator, frantically making various defensive moves.
Lu's projection was sitting aside, watching the video being transmitted back, thinking constantly.
Crops that die quickly...
Is it because the biological factors released by the boss on the verge of going berserk combined with these crops to produce some unknown viruses?
Or is this also the ability of the ancient god's life form?
No matter what, this matter must be told to the boss so that he can decide whether to evacuate this star field urgently.
Lu clicked on another projection screen, which showed the environment Yang Ming was in at the moment.
Loud music and people swaying on the dance floor.
Yang Ming was sitting in the corner of the bar, drinking a non-alcoholic drink, sliding his fingers on the access terminal, and seemed to be enjoying the atmosphere here.
The glasses placed aside vibrated slightly.
Yang Ming put on his glasses immediately.
A few lines of text and a simplified picture passed across the inside of the lens.
[Law: Boss, they started to set fire to the dead crops. I have been keeping an eye on the taxi driver who drove you. Should we let him get into an accident? Aoxing's air defense system is very advanced. Directly activating the particle transmission machine will easily expose it. This is a more difficult problem at the moment.]
Yang Ming adjusted the bar-shaped network access terminal to private mode and quickly typed two lines of text.
【Don't act rashly for now. 】
[Let's wait and see what happens next. That area is very sensitive, and the other party might think that the problem was caused by those things.]
These two lines of text appeared for a few seconds and then disappeared automatically.
Yang Ming picked up the drink and took a big sip. His nerves, which had just relaxed for a moment, tensed up again.
Those young girls with graceful figures suddenly lost their appeal.
Life always comes first.
Half an hour later, Lu started sending text messages.
Yang Ming's guess was correct.
A large number of troops wearing protective clothing were sent to the secret base.
They subconsciously thought that the large-scale necrosis of crops was some kind of radiation sickness caused by the Zerg below.
The Ram Star police were issued a gag order and the incident was suppressed within a very small scope without causing any public opinion fluctuations.
The police officers at the scene were forced to do hard labor and patrol back and forth above the farmland in hovercrafts, which also made it easier for Lu to collect intelligence.
The troops dispatched from the secret base had amazing operational efficiency.
Several soil-turning machines pulled out a wide isolation belt, and airships sprayed combustion aids in the air, and a huge fire turned the dead crops into ashes.
But doing so is completely futile .
As the flames rose, necrosis spread across the endless farmland at a faster rate, and a plant would completely wither within three minutes.
Lu captured a conversation between Professor Pat and a middle-aged man.
No problems were found in the crop samples sent back to the base for random inspection. It was as if the plants themselves did not want to live and were completely necrotic at the cellular level.
This conclusion caught Yang Ming by surprise.
Lu continued to pay attention to the sudden situation on Ram Star, and Yang Ming began to look for areas where the air defense system of Ao Star was relatively weak.
Fortunately, there is no surveillance near the farmland.
If the other party sets his sights on that taxi, Yang Ming must give up the enhanced injection formula and leave the New Federation as quickly as possible.
However, at present, the staff of the secret base have determined that they were the ones who caused the disaster of crop necrosis.
[This is exactly the manifestation of their guilty conscience.]
Law teases with words.
Yang Ming finished his drink, paid the bill, and prepared for a rainy day, moving towards the outskirts of the Three Cities Capital.
Sudden.
Yang Ming felt a little irritated for no reason, and Lu's reminder appeared on his glasses.
【Boss, the direction of the entrance.】
Yang Ming looked up and immediately found the source of his irritation.
She was a young girl, who looked no more than eighteen or nineteen years old. Compared to the 'big sisters' swaying their bodies on the dance floor, she was a little thin, but her chest was very plump.
Her dress didn't fit in with her surroundings.
She was wearing slightly loose pajamas and wet long hair, as if she had just walked out of the shower at home. She was wearing a pair of cartoon slippers on her feet. Her skin was white and tender, and it was obvious that she had a good living environment on a daily basis.
Yang Ming's irritability became more and more serious.
The girl's expression was grim, or to be more precise, numb and indifferent, without any emotional fluctuations, and there seemed to be a light green light flashing in her eyes .
She stared at Yang Ming without stopping for a second, and walked slowly from the edge of the dance floor. There seemed to be a sharp blade hidden in her right hand tucked into her sleeve.
What's going on?
Why does this human girl have an insect-like smell?
Did she come to find me on her own initiative?
interesting.
Yang Ming kept his expression calm, stared at the girl's pretty face, and walked towards her head-on.
