Chapter 236 On Bai Chui
Putting the head back together is indeed a technical job.
Fortunately, there are many mechanical experts in the Super Modifier organization. Yang Ming held his head and went to the maintenance station for a walk, and then returned to the team's battle line intact.
For the next week, Yang Ming tried his best to behave like a gentleman in front of Captain Catherine.
Yang Ming could feel that Catherine actually had a good impression , and now that they were no longer hindered by their identities, their relationship would naturally move in the direction that the TV station would not allow it to be broadcast.
Catherine has some longing for love between men and women, but she is very restrained.
Yang Ming is considered a veteran in the love field, but facing a powerful super-modifier who would chop off his head at the slightest disagreement, he is a little hesitant to be too indulgent.
After all, the real body is not here, and the mechanical body's ability to withstand attacks is always limited.
In one week, the two of them only completed the following tasks:
Hiding together in the corner of the base, watching funny movies projected from Yang Ming’s chest;
Men and women practice mixed doubles together;
Learn the control skills of the new exoskeleton armor together;
Conduct battle sand table simulations together;
Let's study Bly's psychological gender together.
Catherine was full of laughter and joy after training. It was also the first time for Yang Ming to have a military romance, and it felt very strange.
Of course, their relationship did not progress that quickly. They were still in the ambiguous stage and neither of them had made things clear.
Although Yang Ming was a gentleman, it was impossible for him to keep his eyes on Catherine's slender and fit figure. He was also using this rare opportunity to observe the foundation of the empire.
This super-commissioned organization...it turns out to be a BOSS nest.
Yang Ming's mechanical body wandered around the training base for a week. After making a brief summary, he discovered six legion-level BOSSes and a dozen high-level and high-difficulty BOSSes that he had some impression of.
——It is also because there are super modifiers coming to the Yaha Star Base to observe the White Ghost.
In fact, Yang Ming clearly remembered the strategies and fighting methods for most of the BOSSes here.
Yang Ming searched his memory carefully and found a small problem.
In "Abyss", these bosses all belong to various departments of the Imperial Military, rather than serving the Super Modifier Organization.
Yang Ming reasonably speculated that the Super Reformer organization was most likely disbanded later, and its resources were reallocated by the Council of Elders and the military.
As for Captain Catherine, Yang Ming guessed that she was killed by Bligh in the original timeline, or died in the battle. There was no data about her in "The Abyss".
For this reason, Yang Ming also deliberately reminded Catherine to instill in her the idea that if she could survive, she should not force herself to sacrifice.
During this period, Yang Ming did not have frequent contact with Bray.
In order to avoid suspicion from the higher-ups, Yang Ming always kept a certain distance from Bly, and he went out with Catherine every day.
As a rare person with super-powered psychic powers, Bligh himself is also very busy.
In just one week of training, Bligh was loaned out twice.
Yang Ming secretly asked Bray about the content of the mission. Bray naturally did not dare to hide it and reported in detail what he had done when he was out.
——He often had to help some secret trials to deal with some difficult criminals, including some political prisoners.
"I can't help it. I'm destined to do these dirty jobs," Bly replied a little nervously, "If you mind, I'll find a way to refuse."
"Ah, no, go at your own pace and serve the Empire well."
Yang Ming was afraid that he had not expressed himself clearly, so he reminded Bray: "My moral values are not that high either."
“I admire your humble character.”
Yang Ming: …
A strange spiritual imprint.
The team's training was originally planned to last for half a month, but because the Empire discovered a new swarm of insects, their training was stopped by Director Riva.
In the team meeting room, Director Riva and Catherine stood on the podium, and a dozen team members including Yang Ming sat below.
Three planets appeared on the projection screen.
"Thanks to the new technology contributed by White Ghost, the military has discovered three new insect burial sites."
Director Ruiwa said slowly:
"First of all, on behalf of the Imperial Council of Elders and the military, I would like to express my gratitude to White Ghost. The Council of Elders has already submitted an application to the Imperial Council of Nobles. As long as the application is approved, White Ghost 's status as a reserve baron will be formalized.
“Before this, the Council of Elders had already issued a commendation order and awarded White Ghost a high-end residence on the planet Yaha.
“It’s enough for everyone to know this.”
The team members all looked at Yang Ming. Yang Ming smiled, picked up the commendation order, and made a traveling exhibition.
"Show off," Catherine curled her lips slightly.
Director Riva quickly got to the point. The middle-aged woman had a stern face and issued combat orders:
"Among the three newly discovered insect burial sites, two are worthless uninhabited planets. The Imperial Dreadnought has locked onto the targets and will destroy them live.
“This is a great opportunity to boost the confidence of our people.
“But there is a burial site.”
She slightly adjusted the projection screen image, and the two planets were directly erased, and a light brown planet slowly rotated in the middle of the screen.
“This is a second-level resource reserve planet, rich in a large number of rare minerals. It is on the empire’s development list for the next hundred years. Moreover, it is a semi-habitable planet and has the potential to be transformed into a habitable planet.
“So, after careful study and judgment, we decided not to destroy the core of this planet directly, but to find a way to eliminate the insect swarm on it.
“This is the precise data detected.”
Several lines of annotation appeared next to the planets.
A fourth-level queen, half of the fourth-level adults, half of the third-level adults, and a small number of fifth-level special adults.
“This is not an insect extermination battle within the Imperial Star Circle, and it has nothing to do with us.
“But the order issued by the Council of Elders is for your team to cooperate with the special forces of the Skywrath Fortress to carry out the mission of killing the queen.
“After learning from the failures of the previous missions to behead the queen, we will use many secret weapons this time and formulate a more detailed battle plan.
"The military and the Council of Elders mean that this battle must be fought beautifully."
Director Riva pushed his glasses and looked at Yang Ming: "Will the White Ghost's main body directly participate in the war? The higher-ups want a definite answer."
"If you can't solve it," Yang Ming said seriously, "my new ghost mecha just needs to be tested on the battlefield."
"Very good. I will not count your original combat power into the normal battle sequence. This time, the protagonist is this team."
Director Riva swept his eyes across the room, and most of the super-modifiers present were eager to fight.
"This insect extermination battle will be broadcast live nationwide. The purpose is to prove to the people that the Empire has more than just white ghosts. The Empire has more powerful vanguards! Do you understand?"
"Yes! Director!"
Catherine said: "Director, this support is actually not necessary. I believe in the team members present here."
"No, Catherine," Director Riva looked at Yang Ming and said, "The power of the ancient god gene is still an unsolved mystery. We also need to collect more relevant data."
Yang Ming: "You can discuss this in private. This seems to be a bit of an infringement on my privacy."
The team members smiled.
…
Once you join the empire, the treatment will be different.
After the Empire discovered the new Zerg swarm, it widely publicized on the Internet that "the gift given by White Ghost worked wonders" and praised White Ghost highly.
Watching Hui Sarkar's political talk show is just for fun;
If you really want to see how an empire creates stars, you should watch "White Ghost".
However, public opinion is a double-edged sword, with both advantages and disadvantages.
After the imperial authorities began to praise White Ghost, a large number of opinions appeared on the Internet, such as "White Ghost has become a minion of the empire" and "White Ghost finally accepted the amnesty."
Yang Ming could only turn a blind eye to this.
There's nothing I can do, it's all because of the Valkyrie.
Public opinion will eventually calm down. Neither praise nor slander can enhance or weaken one's own strength. Just treat it with a normal mind.
Catherine's team set out directly after the meeting. It was rare for the members of their team to participate in the same operation together.
Surrounding Catherine's team of fifteen, there is also a support group of three hundred people, including more than twenty weakly transformed warriors, a fifty-person technical team, a hundred-person Stinger ship crew, as well as logistics personnel such as equipment maintenance, emergency medical care, communications, massage, etc.
Most of the people that Bligh had previously mobilized and commanded were members of this support group.
After boarding the Stinger, Yang Ming couldn't help but look around.
When he was playing games in the past, he often treated this thing as a BOSS, and the scene he saw the most was the explosion of the Stinger ship. He didn't expect that one day, he would become a crew member of the Stinger ship.
Catherine summoned the combat members of the support team and selected ten transformers with good strength to supplement the team's combat power.
After Catherine finished the tactical meeting, Yang Ming was surrounded again.
"Mr. Hui Saka, why do you want to retire? You are in the limelight now, and why are you here?"
"Can you give me an autograph, sir? Just sign my back! I won't shower these few days, so I'll go find a tattoo machine when I have the day off!"
"Mr. Hui Saka, I heard some rumors that you and White Phantom are teammates. Is this true?"
Yang Ming looked at Catherine for help.
Catherine said calmly: "All combatants go and sign a confidentiality agreement. Deputy Captain Bligh will tell you the answer. Don't surround our capable operators."
Bly came closer with a smile, and the crowd around Yang Ming quickly scattered.
"Huh," Yang Ming muttered, "I thought this matter had already been made public."
"No," Catherine said, "But there was no clear confidentiality order from above. Sooner or later, everyone will know that Hui Saka is the White Ghost."
"I'm ready for this."
Yang Ming suggested that they take a walk, and Catherine readily agreed.
Their team's Stinger ships have been incorporated into a fleet and are heading towards a fixed jump orbit in outer space of the planet Yaha.
Outside the porthole, the planet Yaha, with its six giant artificial planetary rings, is rapidly becoming a tiny dot of light in the universe.
"Have you set out in your original form?" Catherine asked.
"Of course, I'm already waiting outside that planet," Yang Ming said with a smile, "I still have to be on guard against the Empire. I'll try not to have any contact with the Empire. And I'm serious. If you can solve the insect infestation, I won't take direct action."
Catherine said, "Didn't a study say that killing insects might improve your strength?"
" What does it matter how strong one's personal strength is?"
Yang Ming shrugged, stared at the starry sky outside the porthole, and said slowly:
“The reason why humans as a species have come to dominate the Milky Way, and even other large galaxy clusters, is because humans are social animals.
"We rely on and use technology to transform all kinds of energy in the universe into our own energy, tame planetary atmospheres, resist the powerful magnetic fields of stars, form powerful fleets, and are even able to directly destroy stars.
“This is the real strength.”
Catherine said, “However, powerful individuals can become a sharp sword hanging over the head of a political system, and can also interfere with the direction of the human group.”
"That depends on your understanding of powerful."
Yang Ming thought of the old intelligent emperor of the Luofeng Empire.
He is always sober.
If he only relied on the strength of a secondary ancient god life form, he should still be hanging out with pirates now, or like Catherine, he would have put on a mask and become a sharp blade of the empire.
What really allows him to have everything he has today is the technological power brought by Lu, a mechanical thinking body.
Yang Ming smiled and said, "In many ways, your Majesty the Great Emperor is the most powerful individual in the empire."
Catherine smiled noncommittally.
The Stinger began to jump, but the two men didn't feel anything. Moving stars appeared outside the window and soon entered the target star field.
"We still have two hours of flight ahead ," Catherine said. "Take a break first. I need to check the equipment and hold a liaison meeting."
Yang Ming muttered, "Captain has to do so much work?"
Catherine tilted her head slightly and said, "That's why you get a salary card and I get an official credit card."
"Yes, yes, the captain is awesome," Yang Ming shrugged. "I even specially prepared a new movie, a genuine source bought from the Guell Alliance, to help you kill time on the road."
Catherine was a little confused for a moment, but she turned her head and left.
"I'm going to do what a captain should do. When I'm working, I'm going to work hard. When I'm free, I'm going to relax!"
Tsk, quite principled.
Yang Ming stretched and let the mechanical body return to the cabin to rest.
He also needs to make some preparations before the battle.
…
at the same time.
Captain Gris, who was fully armed, was looking at the projection screen in front of him with a stern face.
Dozens of combat brigade captains and deputy captains from Skywrath Fortress are holding an online tactical deployment meeting.
Grace asked in a deep voice: "Are you sure? Will White Ghost also participate in this pest control operation?"
"Yes, Captain Gris," the general presiding over the meeting said with a smile, "White Ghost's mechanical body will come with a team of super-modifiers to serve as your combat reinforcement. Later, it will be with you and receive orders directly from the headquarters."
Someone cursed: "If you want to transform soldiers, just transform them. Why do you have to create super-transformed soldiers?"
"This is just a name used within the Imperial Star Circle."
"These troops are the treasures of the elders in the Council of Elders. They are the combat power directly under the Council of Elders. We cannot compare with them."
"Their basic salary is three times ours, and I can't stand that."
"But it feels pretty good to be able to fight with White Phantom and be in the same command system."
The general called out his name directly: "Captain Gris, you look serious, do you have anything to say?"
Grace clenched his fists tightly, took a deep breath, and said seriously:
"Brothers, let's get more motivated this time!
"We must let the top brass of the empire see who is the real backbone of the empire's fighting force!
“We must let these super-changers know who is most qualified to stand behind White Phantom and be his teammate!
"This is a battle that concerns the glory of our Skywrath Fortress!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the entire chat room suddenly became extremely tense.
"Yes! We must let them see what we can do!"
"We are the best teammates for White Ghost!"
"We'll show them off this time! Let these super mods know how powerful we are!"
"yeah--"
The middle-aged major general who presided over the meeting thought carefully for a long time, and his forehead gradually became filled with black lines.
No, what the hell is this? Why am I so proud to be a teammate of White Ghost?
It is understandable that everyone wants to prove themselves, but is it an exaggeration to argue about who will stand behind the White Ghost?
Damn, this guy Gris is really the first to brag in vain, he has led everything astray!
