Chapter 230: Heaven and Earth Net
The moment the white ghost appeared, Grace felt as if his heart was being tightly grasped, and his breathing became a little rapid .
He stared at the different perspectives on several screens and almost stood up from the small stool.
But Gris was worthy of being a legendary captain. He remained calm at this moment and quickly issued instructions while the white ghost performed the air walk.
"Detection of target bioenergetic response."
"All units retreat to the second ambush line and await orders."
"Captain, we have confirmed the strong bio-energy reaction. It is the fluctuation of spiritual power that supports him against the gravity of the planet!"
"Report to the superiors," Gris took a deep breath, "If he really comes...how is he going to get away?"
"Captain, do we need to report this as well?"
"Are you stupid? I'm doing a tactical deduction," Gris glared at the cyborg who was speaking, and the latter shrank his neck and quickly lowered his head to take pictures of the documents.
There were screams and shouts coming from outside the building, but fortunately the crowd did not surge directly.
One after another, the attack boats and military and police hovercrafts slowly approached the building, but did not dare to get too close.
The warship formation in the outer atmosphere began to descend in altitude, and its secondary guns locked onto the building where the studio was located, waiting for orders from the highest levels of the military.
The appearance of the white ghost was somewhat unexpected to many people.
He really came and plunged into the dragnet.
The director of all this, the general enhanced warrior Gris, could only cross his arms and stare at the studio screen nervously.
He is still thinking about that question.
How does the white ghost escape?
How did the white ghost come from? The answer is that it came in through the window.
Before entering the studio window, the white ghost turned around and waved to the crowd below. Ninety percent of the network terminals in the crowd received the message from the white ghost at the same time.
Fortunately, Yaha Star’s network infrastructure is very developed, otherwise it would definitely be overwhelmed by instant traffic.
【I am coming.】
This sounds like what White Ghost would say to his supporters.
Inside the studio, a group of staff members rushed to the window and stared blankly at the white ghost, as if they had forgotten what to do for a moment.
The white ghost didn't care about anything and walked calmly to the studio.
A woman asked, "Excuse me! Do you want to take off your helmet and put on some makeup?"
"No need," White Ghost replied in an electronically processed voice.
The director gestured frantically to the stage, and Hui Saka immediately responded, shouting to the camera in his own bubbly voice:
"Let us welcome! The legend of the Empire! The nemesis of the Zerg! Dear viewers, His Excellency the White Ghost has appeared. He has been invited to have a dialogue with the Empire. Tonight will be an extremely crazy night! Let us lock on this channel! Okay, the screen continues to show His Excellency the White Ghost!"
White Ghost has begun to take the stage.
The five generals and officials sent by the empire stood up, each of them looking normal, demonstrating excellent psychological qualities.
A general walked around the long table, took the initiative to approach the white ghost and extended his right hand.
The white ghost untied the exoskeleton armor attached to his right hand and shook hands deeply with the other party. The other four generals and officials followed suit, and the tense atmosphere on the scene was immediately diluted a lot.
Hui Saka began to take control of the situation, and the white ghost sat on the sofa to the left of the host.
This is the protagonist of this scene.
Five 'adults' from the empire sat behind the long table, like special guests.
"This scene is so dreamy," Hui Saka said with a smile, "Can you believe it? I am actually in close contact with the White Ghost. He smells... oh, it's the smell of men's perfume. The White Ghost is not a rough guy with a smell of motor oil all over his body. Mr. Ghost, can you introduce yourself?"
"I am the White Ghost."
The white ghost spoke calmly to the camera.
"Great self-introduction," Hui Saka said with a smile, "The five adults here are..."
After the introductions of both parties were over, Hui Saka took out a piece of paper.
"Before the two sides officially start the negotiations, please allow me to add a link. Here are a few questions that our audience would like to ask White Ghost the most. The first question is, are you really Captain Hanton, an imperial officer?"
The white ghost nodded gently: "Yes, I am Hanton."
The expressions of the three generals suddenly changed subtly.
The four panoramic screens in the studio building have been turned on, and the people outside are cheering deafeningly.
Hui Saka asked again: "Are there any insect eggs planted by the New Federation in the Empire?"
"According to the intelligence I obtained from the New Federation, there are still about thirty to fifty piles of insect eggs that have not been discovered," White Ghost said calmly, "This is also a gift I will give to the Empire tonight."
Hui Saka: "Oh, you have a way to find them?"
"After the Zerg were continuously stimulated, the remaining Zerg swarms developed secretly and rapidly," White Ghost said, "It is also based on this factor that I tried to negotiate with the Empire. The method the Empire is currently using to search for Zerg still has some limitations."
Hui Saka asked: "Why would the New Federation use such a vicious strategy?"
The white ghost seemed to be completely relaxed. He crossed his legs and smiled:
“This is the will of the nation. Just as the Empire aims to develop the Imperial Star Circle into a Level 4 civilization, and the New Federation aims to become the most powerful country in the Milky Way, they must find a way to deplete the Empire’s national strength.
“The strength of the New Federation should not be underestimated. The border wars in the past few years have put them under great pressure, but the main fleet of the New Federation has been hiding. This also prevents our fleet from fighting too deeply and teaching them a substantial lesson.
"The New Federation has been trying hard to deny what they have done, but the evidence is all here. Just think about it, during the most rampant insect plague in history, only twelve swarms of insects appeared within the empire's territory. What about now? More than fifty swarms of insects that have not yet fully developed have been found. This is an indisputable fact."
Hui Saka nodded immediately: "Yes, we...what is this?"
The white ghost took out an hourglass from his arms and placed it on the round table beside him.
"Antimatter bomb."
The white ghost laughed:
"I bought it on the black market. It's a means of self-protection. I can sense that there are more than a hundred cyborgs in this building, and they are eyeing me covetously.
"Don't worry, I have calculated the power. This bomb will only destroy the people inside and outside the studio and will not harm the people outside.
"Don't be nervous, I'm here to communicate."
bomb?
Grace raised his eyebrows. Using this method to retreat?
It can only be said to be a mediocre idea.
Hui Saka's smile froze for two seconds, then quickly returned to normal: "I hope you won't need this thing tonight. It's a bit too scary. Well, let's end this conversation as soon as possible... Five adults, do you have anything to ask the White Ghost?"
A general took the initiative to invite the camera ball.
"Captain," the old man asked solemnly, "do you still consider yourself a soldier of the Empire?"
"Yes," the White Ghost nodded without hesitation, "I am proud to be a soldier of the Empire."
Another general asked: "If the military asked you to come back and continue to serve, would you consider it?"
"In fact, I have been helping the military fight the Zerg," White Ghost said slowly. "Can the military guarantee that if I return, I will not be caught and thrown into a nutrient tank filled with excrement and become the target of dissection research by the Imperial Scientific Research Department?"
The general said, "You worry too much."
"In fact, this is not an exaggeration."
The white ghost suddenly raised his hand and unhooked his tactical helmet, revealing a handsome young face with Sherman-like features.
He sat there holding his helmet, speaking calmly:
"I was born from an experiment of the Empire. I am one of the only two successful experimental subjects. The Empire will not let me go as a sample. This is my biggest concern."
One of the ministers asked: "You are so young that we find it incredible. Can you prove your strength? I mean, I may have some doubts about whether you are the real White Ghost."
The white ghost nodded slowly, opened his right hand in front of him, and slowly raised it.
The minister who asked the question seemed to be held by a giant hand. His body slowly rose into the air, his old face pale.
The white ghost chooses to handle it with care.
He took out a badly worn laser pistol from his arms and shot the back of his hand. A scratch appeared on the back of his hand, and the scratch quickly healed, returning to normal after a few seconds.
"Can you prove your identity?"
Yang Ming asked.
A group of people in the studio nodded immediately.
Yang Ming said calmly: "I am not showing off. Gaining power requires a heavy price and great pain, but I want to use my power for the justice of the empire."
The generals began to ask questions again, and their questions focused on how to get White Ghost back to serve in the army smoothly.
Yang Ming also stated his bottom line, which is that his freedom cannot be restricted, he cannot be forced to study, and he cannot do anything that harms the interests of the people of the empire.
One general asked directly: "You are still loyal to His Majesty, right?"
"Yes," Yang Ming said, "This is the duty of an imperial soldier. I have grown up under the glory of the Imperial Star, and what I think about in my heart is how to repay the empire."
“Will you lose control?”
"Yes, I can only say that there is this probability," Yang Ming said, "I must inject special stabilizers regularly, otherwise I will turn into a tumor monster and become a terrifying existence like an ancient god."
“Isn’t this also a hidden danger?”
"Yes," Yang Ming said, "Compared to my hidden danger, the empire already has a bigger worry. You should be familiar with my superior life form, the Valkyrie. She has already completed the ancient deification."
"Why? She still retains her human form."
"Captain Gris has more say on this point. He once presided over a battle to wipe out the Valkyrie. Of course, in the end, he only wiped out the remnants of the Valkyrie."
Yang Ming spread his hands:
“As long as the Valkyrie and I reserve a group of cells outside, we can abandon our bodies and use this group of cells to reproduce again.
“You should be familiar with the information about the Valkyrie. The experimental team is stationed in the Skywrath Fortress. There are many acquaintances of mine there, including a beautiful lady who once betrayed me. She was my former lover.
"She hates the Empire, and once she completes her top priority, she will definitely take revenge on the Empire."
"What do you mean by top priority?"
"Devour me and take back my genes," Yang Ming shook his head. "I have defeated her more than once, so I am still alive. In fact, the Empire does not need to spend too much time studying me and the Valkyrie. It is an impossible experiment to fuse human cells with ancient god genes. There may be interference from higher-dimensional civilizations behind this."
"The Valkyrie is hunting you down. Is that correct?"
“Hunting each other.”
"You took the initiative to communicate with us because of the pressure from the Valkyrie, right?"
"Partly," Yang Ming looked at the general who asked the question, "In the final analysis, I still hope to be recognized by the empire, rather than being wanted by the empire."
The general was about to speak, but Yang Ming raised his hand to signal.
"It's getting late," Yang Ming said with a smile, "Now, the outer space fleet has completed its lock on me. There are more than 4,000 attack units in the periphery, and they have completed a triple encirclement. If I continue chatting, I will really have no chance to leave."
"The military will protect you, I promise you," a general shouted excitedly, "Captain, you are an imperial soldier , you are the glory of the empire! Come back!"
Yang Ming was silent for a few seconds, and whispered: "If it was Lieutenant General Thomas who was here today, I would not refuse, but... I'm sorry, the promises you made cannot represent the top leaders of the empire. I need to ensure my final dignity."
The three generals looked disappointed.
The minister asked, "Can you summarize your conditions? Although I don't believe you can leave safely tonight."
Yang Ming took the hourglass in his hand and said slowly:
“I have already stated my conditions. There are only three of them. First, my freedom cannot be restricted. Second, I cannot be thrown into a nutrient tank or sliced. Third, the real top leaders of the empire must make a formal promise.
“In addition, I don’t want the Empire to harass my family. If anything happens to them, I will do whatever it takes to retaliate against the issuer and executor of the order.
“I will give the empire three gifts tonight as a way of continuing my contribution to the empire.
"The first gift is a new type of insect detection device, the second gift is the basic formula of the new Federation's biochemical transformation warrior strengthening injection, and the third gift is a website. You can search for the ancient imperial language of the White Ghost in half an hour."
He put on his helmet calmly.
"Attention, teams!" Gris picked up the intercom in the RV, "Capture the white ghost alive!"
There was a sudden commotion in the studio.
The white ghost threw the hourglass out, and a bright red projection countdown appeared on the hourglass:
00:00:55.
A group of guards rushed into the studio, and the staff and five ministers ran out. Only Hui Saka calmly sorted out the documents in front of him, and then he was grabbed by the white ghost.
"Oh! Brother! What are you doing!" Hui Saka shouted hurriedly.
The white ghost directly dragged Hui Saka into a dark corner.
The building suddenly lost power, everything was dark, and the emergency lights quickly came on.
The thick smoke that came quickly from nowhere made the scene completely chaotic.
More than ten seconds later, a red halo appeared around the white ghost, and its body crashed straight into the window it came from.
Wow!
The white ghost broke open the glass.
Outside the window, beams of searchlights shone at the white ghost.
Gris was well prepared. At least hundreds of attack boats activated their magnetic capture devices at the same time. A series of noises came from under the building, and large alloy nets flew towards the white ghost.
The white ghost seemed to be suspended in mid-air.
But then, a large number of people below let out exclamations.
A strong red light burst out around the white ghost, sweeping in all directions like waves. He flipped his body, and a lightsaber appeared in his hand. Butterfly-shaped vector fire spurted out from behind, accelerating towards the large nets below.
Biochemical warriors and mechanical modified people are standing ready at the edge of the building!
The white ghost jumped into the net and fell directly to the ground.
The super-changers and cyborgs below rushed forward, and the scene suddenly fell into chaos.
In the RV, Grace watched the scene nervously.
He didn't believe that the White Ghost could be caught so easily.
really!
A thick smoke expanded rapidly, almost instantly completely enveloping the lower six floors of the building, and explosions were heard in the smoke.
"Captain, should we give the order to shoot? The White Ghost may escape!"
"What are the orders from above?"
"Capture alive!"
"If we kill him, we will all be shot!"
With a hint of doubt in his eyes, Grace looked up at the floor where the studio was located and continued to mobilize a large number of soldiers to completely block the area outside the thick smoke.
Right at this moment!
A black shadow rushed out of the thick smoke and plunged into the crowd.
"The White Ghost has escaped!"
"The white ghost has entered the crowd!"
"All units immediately chase after them! What are you waiting for!"
Gris yelled, "The outer space fleet is blocking the entire territory! Don't let him leave the surface! Lock his position in the air and don't hurt civilians!"
In the crowd, white ghosts stepped on the shoulders of citizens and evacuated quickly. The attack boats above shone lights, and a number of suspended armored vehicles appeared behind.
The front suddenly opened up.
There are human figures moving in the darkness.
Several searchlights were shone over, and Gris's headquarters, several remote headquarters, and the imperial soldiers on those attack boats fell silent almost at the same time.
The open space was a square, which was now full of people, all adult men and women.
Most of them have now completed their makeshift costumes, wearing tactical helmets and gray-white 'COS' suits.
One by one, the white ghosts began to move forward slowly, hand in hand.
The white ghost jumped up, turned over and landed on the ground, standing in the open space.
He turned his head to look behind him and made a victory gesture. The crowd in front of him surged and merged him into it.
"Mad!"
Grace covered his mouth tightly, his eyes flickering.
"Captain, what should we do? There are at least a thousand people here!"
"Catch them all! Check them one by one!" Gris took a deep breath, "Make sure the white ghost has not left. Aim the scanner at the underground, especially the sewer system! If he wants to blend in with the crowd to avoid the search, it would be the most unwise decision!"
"yes!"
Gris looked at the thick smoke outside the window with a slight flicker in his eyes. He handed over the command to the remote command center and took out another walkie-talkie.
"When the White Ghost fell just now, was there anyone who fought against it head-on?"
The channel was silent.
"Not really, Captain Gris."
"Very good, Captain Catherine, take your men and start the operation. The target... Hui Saka must be captured alive."
"clear."
Catherine's response was extremely calm.
