Chapter 81 I want to ruin it by the way
The temporary meeting room is located on a deeper level of the base. Right now, the survivors are waiting for the blood test results in the isolation room, and the special forces are working in groups to conduct safety inspections, so almost no one will come here.
Pressing the palm into the identification area, the digital control door opened, and Silvison stepped aside to signal Bai Yi to advance, and then he followed behind him regardless of Conrad.Conrad has long been accustomed to Silveson's attitude, and he has no intention of leaving first.
The three entered in a single file, and Winnie and Angela, who had already been waiting inside, got up respectively, and gave a simple alliance military salute to the two captains respectively.
Silvison raised his hand and pressed it down, and said, "Sit down, let's talk together when Snow arrives later."
In fact, when she saw Conrad Statham, Winnie felt unbelievable. The relationship between the two captains, not to mention the alliance, is notoriously discord in the home planet Lothar, and they can live in peace now. Walking together, and obviously participating in the private mission that Captain Fanzhuo said, this is probably enough to show that this mission is quite difficult.
Thinking of this, she tilted her head slightly, and looked at Ahn'Qiraj with a solemn expression. The latter obviously didn't think of this level, and just shrugged indifferently.
Everyone sat down, Silverson glanced at the time on the communicator, then connected the optical computer to the holographic projection, tapped his fingers on the keyboard, and within a short while, a three-dimensional map gradually appeared in the center of the oval conference table. .
It was a holographic image of a coastal city. After hundreds of years of erosion, only an incomplete outline of the main building remained. The vegetation coverage was at least 50% higher than before the end of the world. The gray community that we can see, the nature is gradually obliterating the traces of human existence in its unique way, and returning to an undisturbed appearance.
Bai Yi took a cursory glance and then looked away. A death fast-forwarded the time by 400 years. He thought he had already adapted to this brand new world, but when the familiar scene appeared in front of him in a strange way, his memory It's like an irreversible side effect of that death, which always pops up when you are about to forget it, making you remember how painful you were when you were sick.
"I saw the video data of you fighting with the second-level mutant."
The cold male voice sounded without warning, and Bai Yi suddenly came back to his senses, raised his head, and looked at the cold-faced man at the other end of the long table with a little surprise.
Conrad sat a little far away from the group of people, and even if it was not a formal occasion, he still maintained the most upright posture of a special forces member. His eagle-like eyes fell on the city image, and he didn't look at Bai Yi. He fell silent. After a few seconds, he said: "It's not bad."
Is this...a compliment?
Bai Yi couldn't believe his ears, and it took a long time before he replied lightly, "Low-level mutants are not particularly powerful, so it is not difficult to kill them."
"You're too humble, Bye," Silvison continued, "Even if it's a low-level mutant, its combat power is comparable to that of ordinary special forces, there's no doubt about it."
"But even if this is the case—" Conrad glanced at Silveson blankly, and added in a cold voice: "He is still just an ordinary human being, and he is not qualified to participate in actual missions. Your excuse for breaking the rules."
Silverson smiled indifferently, and said sarcastically, "Colonel, when did I ever make excuses for myself?"
As expected, these two people did not have a second mode of getting along. Bai Yi had woken up from the illusion of being "approved by Colonel Statham", silently wiped off a drop of sweat dripping from his forehead, took a deep breath, and said, "As early as in Hope The last time you took me out on a mission in violation of the regulations, at the underground base of the 'Innovator' Paris, Claude once said that I am no longer a human being—"
Conrad was noncommittal, his gloomy face softened, as if he was just listening to Bai Yi's voice quietly.
"Colonel Statham, you also know part of my situation. Except that there is still a certain gap in strength at this stage, I have almost the same advantages as blood races and modified weapons in other aspects, not to mention that I will not have an immune response after being infected with the virus. , if you still use the reason of 'genetic modification failure' as an excuse, isn't it a bit too targeted?"
"You might die," Conrad said.
Bai Yi seemed to have heard something ridiculous, and shook his head with a light smile, "The first time we met in the jungle, to me it was just shortly after death, Colonel, I am a person who has died once, and I have died again. How can you be afraid of something that has already happened?"
Conrad watched Bai Yi's dark eyes quietly, and seemed to speak a few times, but finally said nothing.
The information revealed by the conversation between the two is very subtle. What is a human being who has died once and cannot be regarded as a human being?Winnie frowned involuntarily, but she was very clever and didn't say it. On the contrary, Ahn'Qira was blunt and asked directly: "You are not human, and you have died once, so what are you? Blood race? But I am on your body No smell of the same kind—"
At this time the CNC door opened, Snow stepped in with a cold face, bowed to the two captains respectively as a greeting, he turned around and closed the CNC door again, keyed in a string of encrypted strings in the identification area, and left after confirming the lock. Take a seat on the other side of Silveson.
"He's not a vampire," Snow pushed his eyes, turned on the optical brain he carried with him, and said calmly, "I recorded a set of data about Bye's body every day during the last nursing care. It was originally just to confirm the recovery of the overdraft, but Once I accidentally made a longitudinal comparison of these data, only to find that each value is increasing steadily, although the increase is small, but the frequency is very stable."
"In addition, I have noticed that the needle holes on his body will heal themselves as quickly as vampires and weapons, and the attitude of the boss—" Snow paused a little unnaturally at this point, and looked at his captain lightly, hoping Ervison smiled indifferently, motioning for him to continue talking.
Snow paused, as if he was thinking about his words, "At first, I also suspected that he was an unrecorded blood race, and because of the special blood, he didn't have the unique aura of the same kind, but after a detailed comparison, I found that Bye's DNA structure is completely different from that of the blood family, but to some extent it is closer to the D virus—"
At this point he stopped talking, but turned his head slightly to look at Silveson. The man's eyes behind the crystal lens had a certain kind of gentleness and restraint, like a piece of light-colored inorganic glass, and his voice was gentle and clear. He said: "Captain, I think the information you can tell us is limited. About Bye's secret, you told me not to pay too much attention to it. Even if I still don't say anything today, I am willing to complete any task you give. The truth It doesn't matter to me."
Snow had always been a person with a clear mind and good speaking skills. He knew that the captain's so-called 'truth' couldn't really be telling them all the secrets.
"Thank you very much——" Silverson smiled politely, turned to look at Winnie and Angela questioningly, and after the latter expressed no objection, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Tell me about Bye." It’s a long story, I’ll tell you the details after the aircraft is on board, now I want to share my thoughts first.”
"This mission comes from the invitation of Bai Congxi, the bishop of the 'innovator', that is, Father. The body that Bye is using now is an artificial body, and it is about to reach the limit of its use. Father uses the replacement of the body as a bargaining chip to let us let go. super mutant Angel, and the time is set for a week later."
"Artificial body—!" A trace of obvious surprise flashed across Snow's eyes, and a crack appeared on that indifferent face that had never changed for thousands of years. : "I have checked his body so many times alone, but I didn't realize it at all. The artificial body technology of the 'innovator' is too mature..."
Bai Yi said: "They use artificial bodies as containers to cultivate immature virus variants. This technology has probably been widely used since 400 years ago. Besides, Claude has long said that the technology of 'innovators' is ahead of the alliance. a whole world."
"Actually, this is something that has always concerned me." Silverson said.
Bai Yi was puzzled and hesitated, "What do you mean?"
Before Silverson opened his mouth, Conrad, who had been silent until now, explained: "Before the gene project, we collected detailed data on humans, and technology sharing is one of the important contents of this cooperation. In other words, No matter how much the 'innovators' invest in this field of science, as long as they are human beings, such overwhelming transcendence is impossible."
"You mean they got technical support?" Bai Yi quickly grasped the point and concluded.
"That's right, so the second purpose of this mission is to collect as much information as possible about the 'innovators'. Since Father welcomes us to the base for vacation, we might as well seize the opportunity to enter the interior." Silverson said: "And judging from previous contacts, the underground base in Sydney is very important to them. The temporary cooperation of exchanging Bye's body for Angel will not change our hostile relationship with the 'innovators'. Now that we have gone, I don't want to I plan to come back safe and sound—"
The last trace of the ending trembled away, the eyelashes were raised, and the major general had a smile in his eyes. He looked at everyone present with meaningful eyes in turn, and said, "I want to destroy it by the way."
Bai Yi was stunned when he heard that, and asked suspiciously, "Are we only going to six people?"
"No, to be precise, it's just you and me," Silverson corrected him with a smile, "The purpose of all going in is too obvious, so only I will accompany you into the base, and the four of them will stay outside to deploy and respond. Though I don't think at all that your father would let us in unsuspecting—"
"Speaking of which, why do you think he proposed an exchange?" Bai Yi asked.
"First, he doesn't want you to die; second, Angel may really be useful; third, the time he has been delaying has arrived—" Silvison said without any hesitation, "If I You guessed it right, although Angor's attack on foreign bases was not part of his plan, it became a part of promoting the plan by mistake, and there is also a reason for Ah Chen in this part."
Bai Yi nodded thoughtfully, "I was surprised when I heard Angor say it. Father must have deliberately given him the opportunity to devour humans and occupy his body. It seems that he escaped from the base, sneaked into the alliance, and There's no way these fathers don't know what he needs to keep from us."
"So this mission is very likely to run into Ah Chen." Silveson added.
"What happened to your plan?" Bai Yi asked.
"I care about the person behind him very much—" This was obviously said to Bai Yi, but Silvison glanced at Conrad unexpectedly, and then said to himself: "That person knows me very well, but Other than you, I can only think of one person who knows me so well..."
The two sat at both ends of the long oval table. The moment their eyes met, Conrad seemed to read something from the other's eyes, his stern face moved slightly, and his body leaned forward very inconspicuously.
When Bai Yi noticed this detail, he couldn't help feeling suspicious, and asked, "Who is that person?"
"My teacher," Sylvester said frankly, "Quincy Nofiler."
"It's impossible," Conrad asserted, "the distant galaxy has the strongest defense system in the universe, and no one can leave it."
"Do you remember the last time you heard about the teacher and the prison in the distant galaxy?" Silverson asked with a smile, seeing that Conrad was silent, he continued: "It was exactly 420 years ago. "
Conrad pondered for a moment, and said: "Lothar has always had special personnel to monitor the satellite galaxies. It is impossible to not know about the problems that occurred 400 years ago."
Silverson smiled and said, "Lothar's monitoring system was developed with the help of Mr. Quincy, what do you think?"
"What are you trying to say?" Conrad asked bluntly.
"I hope you can give me a reason that I can't refute," Silvison said indifferently: "Conrad, do you still remember Teacher Quincy's evaluation of me?"
