Chapter 407: Direct Communication with Reason
energy.
An endless supply of exotic biological energy infuses the entire body.
The giant pseudo-life before his eyes turned into cosmic dust in the energy explosion.
Yang Ming and the Evil Ghost were almost merged together. He didn't know why this happened, but he felt... pretty good.
At the moment the fake queen exploded, Yang Ming heard the sound of whales coming from deep space. He seemed to see an extremely huge queen insect standing quietly in the light waves of the explosion, staring at his figure with a pair of cold eyes.
The Queen spotted him.
So what?
The Queen is very far away from here now. Even if she has the ability to jump continuously, it will take time to get here.
The Imperial fleet began to rush forward in this direction.
Yang Ming dived again.
He rushed straight to the area where the sixth-order adults were most densely populated and once again released his red shock, bringing up waves of red in the starry sky.
Unfortunately, this battle, which should have been "endless", came to an end as the Imperial fleet broke out of the encirclement.
"Major General Hanton," Li's voice sounded, "We are about to make a jump. Please return immediately to meet your assault ship."
Yang Ming snorted, but did not want to fight.
The moment he ejected, the Dongfeng had already left the battlefield using a strong leap.
If it were just the enemies in front of him - with only a fake queen in the rear, Yang Ming would be confident that he could completely defeat them.
Because he suddenly realized that when he killed these high-level insects, he not only obtained biological energy to make up for his own energy loss, but his spiritual power also received a trickle of feedback.
When one's own consumption is less than one's income, it completely constitutes the condition of "the more one fights, the braver one becomes".
But Yang Ming had to consider two issues.
One is how long the mecha that he has fused with can last, and the energy storage of this light blade is still high-density energy. He cannot directly charge the light blade, and this combat power cannot really continue indefinitely.
Another problem is that Zerg reinforcements will arrive soon.
He had to rely on the Imperial fleet to leave.
We should retreat when we need to. The war has just begun, we have only just begun.
Yang Ming turned around and rushed back, quickly reuniting with an assault ship.
When the assault ship leapt away with the Imperial fleet, Yang Ming looked straight ahead.
There, he sensed the life fluctuations of the six pseudo-queens.
The main force of this swarm arrived a little late.
…
[Insect Tide Battle Report:
The Imperial fleet was divided into two groups, and launched two sniper battles in the north and east with the goal of depleting the number of Zerg.
After the imperial soldiers fought bravely and bloody battles, they defeated two sixth-order pseudo-queens and six fifth-order queens, consumed hundreds of millions of Zergs, thwarted the arrogance of the space Zerg, and successfully defeated the opponent's vanguard troops.
In this battle, the empire also paid a certain price. More than 120,000 soldiers were buried in the cold universe, and more than 200 ships of various types were destroyed.
It is reported that the Zerg has tightened its forces. After the failure of the first battle, the space Zerg began to march on a large scale. They are like pests in the universe and will frantically devour everything carbon-based.
In addition, the Empire hero White Ghost defeated a sixth-order pseudo-queen alone, but was unable to broadcast the battlefield live due to the surprise attack tactics he adopted.
The Zerg are currently gathering in two directions, and the Empire has made corresponding deployment adjustments. The Supreme Commander of the Military Department held a press conference today and stated that the soldiers of the Empire will resolutely keep the Zerg tide out of the Pan-Imperial Star Circle Economic Zone!
Due to the widespread use of shielding technology, more than 30 main administrative satellites that should have suffered the second disaster have survived.
The current death toll from insect pests is 1.26762 billion...】
…
The Empire's fleet cluster that is fighting against the Second Zerg Swarm is stationed in a deep space spaceport.
Yang Ming stood in front of the Evil Ghost, folded his arms, and stared at the Evil Ghost, which had undergone a mutation, with a frown on his face.
Its main material has not changed much, it is still the ultra-high-strength alloy developed by Lu, but its joints are all covered with red cell membranes that are almost the same as the mecha paint.
Now it really looks like a ghost.
Yang Ming glanced at the wristband on his right hand... Was it the weapon given by this Faya man that worked?
"Hanton!"
Gris' voice rang out.
As soon as Yang Ming turned his head, he was hugged by Grace. The large group of men and women who followed behind him all had passionate eyes on him.
Boss Yang didn't dare to break free from Grace by force now. He had just obtained a large amount of energy and was unable to contain the power hidden in his muscles.
Fortunately, Grace was relatively sensible and didn't do anything embarrassing like picking him up and giving him a kiss.
Yang Ming frowned and asked, "What are the casualties?"
"A quarter of the personnel have been reduced," Gris sighed, "Fortunately, they are all elite modified humans, and there are mechas developed by the Empire first... The bodies of sixth-order bugs are really damn tough!"
Yang Ming nodded slowly: "The timing of your mecha's charge is too dangerous."
"The Imperial Guard system is using us as a backup plan," Gris shook his head. "We can understand and accept this. Soldiers are here to kill the enemy and serve their country. At a time like this when the survival of the fleet is at stake, it's right to have an extra plan."
Yang Ming didn't say much. He nodded to the people behind him as a greeting, and then turned around to continue studying his mecha.
A group of modified warriors rushed up and secretly took photos with Yang Ming's back and the mecha, but they did not dare to disturb Yang Ming.
"Your Ghost seems to be different from before."
Gris frowned and asked:
"How much have you improved in strength? No, you are already so strong, how can you continue to improve in strength? We cyborgs are like a business deal. After the injection, we will only be hard for a while, and then we will continue to be soft."
Yang Ming raised his eyebrows and raised his right hand calmly.
“Feel it.”
"Um?"
Gris touched the wristband and seemed to understand something in an instant. A lot of information appeared in his mind, but this information quickly dissipated.
"What is this treasure?"
"The weapon given by Faya."
Yang Ming said seriously:
“I’m also wondering now. This mecha seems to have been strengthened by me. When I chopped the pseudo-queen, I thought the energy explosion in the pseudo-queen’s body would blow the mecha to pieces. Unexpectedly… it was safe and sound, and I didn’t suffer too much impact.
"Go up and try it."
"Let me try?" Gris pointed to his nose, "Can I drive this thing?"
"Ah, yes," Yang Ming reacted immediately, "This is too imprecise. After all, you are just an ordinary modifier. Go find me a super modifier with strong physical fitness."
There were black lines all over Gris' forehead.
"I just don't believe it!"
He rolled up his sleeves and rushed directly to the cockpit of the Ghost, entered the wide-open hatch, turned on a row of buttons quite skillfully, stretched out his limbs, and connected the mecha.
A group of transformed warriors were marveling at the sight, and many people in the distance at the dock were also looking over here.
The door of the mecha slowly closed, and Gris' voice floated out through the loudspeaker: "Your mecha is so heavy."
"Are you okay?" Yang Ming asked.
"fine!"
"It's okay to take a few steps."
"Let me try... I can't even move my legs..."
The Grim Reaper barely lifted its right foot and took two steps to the side; it was during these two steps that the indicator light on the back of the Grim Reaper suddenly turned red, the hatch opened automatically, and the pilot was ejected directly.
A modified warrior nearby jumped up quickly and grabbed Gris.
Looking at Gris again, his eyes were closed, his face was pale, and blood was slowly oozing out of two noses.
Yang Ming was also startled: "Go find the medical cabin!"
The group of soldiers suddenly became busy, and there was a little commotion in the distance.
Half an hour later.
A relatively quiet ward on the command ship.
Yang Ming sat in front of the bed speechlessly. Grace opened his eyes dimly and gave Yang Ming a thumbs up.
"you……"
"Stop talking now," Yang Ming scolded, "I told you I couldn't do it, but you insisted on trying."
Gris grinned, then covered his head and gasped.
Yang Ming took a bottle of water and handed it to Gris. Gris took two sips and couldn't help but groan a few times.
Gris muttered hoarsely, "There's something weird about your mecha. I took two steps and heard a lot of people talking... It seemed like it was alive. I vaguely saw some bugs rushing towards me..."
“I don’t know how I got that thing.”
Yang Ming shrugged:
"My understanding of my body is limited to its amazing endurance."
Grace frowned and looked at Yang Ming: "Are we talking about serious matters?"
Yang Ming sneered.
Grace rolled his eyes, then glanced at the door and whispered, "There is a problem. I still need to remind you... You called the Imperial Guard System "Li", right? I was on the communication channel at the time."
Yang Ming crossed his arms and asked, "Was there anyone else in the channel at that time?"
"That's the channel where the Imperial Guard system gives me orders," Grace whispered, "I can only speak for my feelings. I don't think there should be any."
Yang Ming raised his hand and touched his chin: "Does that mean that by killing you, this secret can be kept secret forever?"
Gris was startled and stared at Yang Ming with his big eyes.
"You must be joking," Yang Ming said seriously, "Don't publicize this matter, otherwise you might get yourself killed. I am a little familiar with the Emperor Guard System... and we have some unknown personal connections, but that's all."
Grace breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought you wouldn't even let go of artificial intelligence."
drop.
A face suddenly popped up on the display screen of the medical instrument nearby.
The face of reason.
"Captain Gris," her voice was a little cold, "You should be unconscious now."
Gris's Adam's apple moved up and down a few times, he uttered "ouch" twice, tilted his head back and "fainted".
Yang Ming looked at Li who suddenly appeared and couldn't help but frown.
The existence of Li is actually a secret in the empire. Many middle-level officials and officers know that the Imperial Guard system is an anthropomorphic existence, but few people know that Li controls every aspect of the empire.
And Li appeared here so blatantly, in front of Grace...
Of course, Reason has the ability to shut up Grace in various ways, and can also prevent the news here from spreading through any network.
This made Yang Ming somewhat uneasy.
Although he felt uneasy, Yang Ming had no intention of groveling.
"What advice do you have?"
"Major General Hanton," Li's voice was indistinct, "You are suspected of disobeying orders on the battlefield. I am now formally warning you."
Yang Ming smiled and said, "Disobey orders? Can you tell me specifically when you disobeyed orders?"
"When ambushing the false queen, you did not follow my instructions and launched a charge on your own, going too deep into the rear of the enemy swarm. If you fail to defeat the queen, you will affect the entire fleet's operations and force us to lose 10% of our ships."
Yang Ming asked back: "You mean , I didn't choose to attack when I heard you say to attack, which is disobeying your order."
"Yes, according to my calculations, the best time for you to attack will be delayed by fifty seconds."
"That means several thousand more elite transformed soldiers will die on the front line?"
Li said calmly: "The casualties and loss of combat effectiveness are not your concern, Major General. Your duty on the battlefield is to assault the infantry, not to command the fleet."
Yang Ming shrugged:
“When it comes to fighting space bugs, I’m not just an assault infantryman, I’m also a bug expert.
"I know them better than you do.
"You are just analyzing based on various data, but I can feel their fear. Look at this... a weapon given by the Faya people, specially used against insects."
Li was silent for a few seconds, then nodded slightly: "Okay, Senior Infantryman."
"No!" Yang Ming said angrily, "Why is it so difficult to communicate with you! I can independently judge when to launch an assault!"
"Considering that you claim to be an expert on space Zerg and that you possess abnormal powers beyond the current dimension, I suggest that you apply to my supervisor for temporary emergency authority."
There was a hint of doubt in Yang Ming's eyes.
He continued to be annoyed: "Who is your supervisor?"
The lawyer said calmly: "Levi Sherman."
Grace, who was lying there pretending to be unconscious, twitched a few times.
Yang Ming said coldly: "What do you mean? That is the great founding emperor! You mean you want His Majesty the Emperor to give the order personally, right? Very good, I will call His Majesty the Emperor right away."
Yang Ming took out his Knight Commander badge and calmly pinned it on his chest: "Although you are the Empire's Entire Territory Defense System, I'm sorry..."
"Sorry, you need to find my supervisor before you can apply for relevant permissions."
Yang Ming frowned and said, "You mean, His Majesty the Emperor didn't even give me the authority to respond to changes on the battlefield?"
"Yes," Li nodded, "After searching, it turns out that the Emperor you mentioned does not have sufficient authority."
At this moment, Yang Ming suddenly... suddenly didn't know how to respond.
Is the principle conveying some message?
Is the information hidden in these words of any value to me?
Or, Li was simply answering his own question... Yang Ming stared at Li.
After a few seconds of silence, the conversation came to an end.
“You are very powerful, and with your strength and the connections you have established with the Fayya people, we may be able to defeat our powerful enemy more easily.
“However, Major General Hanton, please follow my instructions until you obtain the corresponding authority.
"After this clash of power between you and the pseudo-queen, I have gained an intuitive understanding of your combat capability. I will respect your opinions on targeting the swarm as long as they do not affect the overall battle situation, but you must obey my orders.
"If you disobey orders on the battlefield again next time, I will impose the most stringent sanctions on you, including but not limited to formal arrest after the war."
After saying this, Li's figure disappeared and the medical equipment slowly turned off.
Yang Ming snorted, leaned against the wall and thought.
Grace on the side...made a beautiful snoring sound with the tip of his nose. It was unclear whether he was really asleep or just dozing off.
'What does this mean?'
