Chapter 379

Chapter 379

The atmosphere in the corridor became tense. You Su's eyes deepened and his gaze stopped on Luo Xu. Before the rescue, the border troops should have obtained all the rescue lists. They should know how many people there might be on the Gale spacecraft and which mecha divisions are on their list. They would not ask such an invalid question.

The atmosphere between the two suddenly reached a freezing point. Luo Xu and You Su stared at each other for a moment, then gave up and said, "I'm just testing you. Why are you glaring at me, little brat?"

"Did Lin Yi ask you to ask, or did Wei Changyang ask you to come?" You Su's expression didn't change, but his tone obviously turned colder.

Luo Xu didn't mean to ask this question suddenly, but he noticed that You Su and Ying Chenlin had a special relationship. Seeing that You Su's attitude had turned cold, he didn't plan to continue beating around the bush: "Didn't you ask me how I got here? Wei Changyang gave me a mission to protect that mecha master."

You Su paused after hearing this, "Protect him? Why?"

"About the Kronos investigation team, the border troops have found something incredible. This information has not been fully disclosed yet, but I need to tell you." Luo Xu scratched his head and opened the information about Kronos: "You also know that this attack is unusual. That's because Kronos was most likely captured and experimented on by the border 30 years ago. There are human genes in its genome. The border research team concluded that Kronos has human IQ and is one of the culprits who caused chaos at the border 30 years ago."

Outside the corridor, Ying Chenlin did not move, and Luo Xu's voice entered his ears little by little.

It happened 30 years ago, when he was at the KID base. He heard Shi Qingning mention the past. Shi Qingning separated from his mother Shi Xuejun because of this incident. Afterwards, he checked the whole story of the riot at the Fifth Star Domain Border Research Institute 30 years ago. The Star Network only briefly mentioned the pollutant riot, but did not mention Chronos.

He remembered that others had mentioned that Kronos had evolved into an S-class pollutant at the border 11 or 12 years ago, and then evolved into a super S-class pollutant witnessed by You Su more than three years ago. According to the timeline, Kronos 30 years ago was most likely just an A-class pollutant.

Does a Class A pollutant really have the ability to cause a riot at the Border Research Institute?

You Su's eyes fell on the information and he said, "It has human genes, but it is still a Class A pollutant."

"This is also one of the doubts. The reason we came to this conclusion is that the energy detection report 30 years ago clearly showed the energy reaction of Kronos. This is also the biggest gain since Slared."

Tracing back to the energy reaction of Kronos, the Star Alliance and the Border Army obtained a large amount of data and information. 30 years ago, the A-level Kronos could cause a riot in the Border Research Institute. Today, 30 years later, the super S-level Kronos caused the borders of the two star regions to go out of control. In the final analysis, all the intelligence requires them to completely analyze the pollutant Kronos to ensure a fatal blow.

"That's why I received the order to protect Ying Chenlin." Luo Xu was silent for a moment and then said, "Not long ago, a researcher analyzed the anatomical pathology report of an individual named Shi Xuejun."

Shi Xuejun, You Su knew this person, she was Ying Chenlin’s mother.

His eyes darkened slightly, "What do you mean?"

"In the existing data analysis, he found that some tissues in the lesions where Shi Xuejun was genetically infected overlapped with the sequences in the data we collected in Slarede." Luo Xu put it simply, "That is, Shi Xuejun's cause of death was not entirely due to the infection of pollutants in the Koria contaminated area. She was most likely infected by Kronos and died."

Ying Chenlin was slightly stunned. What did that mean? His mother's death had something to do with Kronos?

Wasn’t the contaminant from that [fire] the culprit behind the Kokolia accident?

"But we didn't detect any involvement of Kronos in the loss of control in Kolya, which means that the Kolya incident has nothing to do with Kronos, but only with the individual Shi Xuejun." Luo Xu moved his hand, and the entire virtual screen disappeared from his hand. "You Su, now that I've said this, you should know what I mean, right?"

You Su was silent for a moment, then said, "Master Xue was infected long before Kolya."

"That's right." Luo Xu gave a definite answer: "We traced back Shi Xuejun's life experience. Apart from the Dawn Galaxy, the only place she had contact with was the Border Research Institute 30 years ago. Her real name was Shi Qingxue. After the riot at the Border Research Institute in the Fifth Star Region, her whereabouts were unknown. She finally changed her name and went to the Dawn Galaxy, becoming Shi Xuejun."

"Ying Chenlin was born during the riots in the contaminated area of ​​Kolya. He has a genetic history."

Luo Xu gave the answer that You Su didn't want to know, "If Shi Xuejun was infected 30 years ago, then there is a 25% chance that Ying Chenlin's genetic disease is related to Kronos."

So after Wei Changyang got this information, he immediately sent Luo Xu, the captain of the Third Star Domain Special Forces, here. Even if there was only a 5% chance that Luo Xu had a great connection with Kronos, the border army could only include him in the protection range.

You Su said: "His condition has stabilized."

"We are not so malicious as to force people to do genetic testing." Luo Xu didn't know what to say. "Commander Wei meant for me to observe and protect him. If he has any problems, we can protect him and send him to treatment as soon as possible."

"I understand." You Su said.

Luo Xu paused: "Why do you have this attitude? You are close to him. If there is anything unusual about him, you should tell me the first time, understand?"

You Su: "Let's talk about it later?"

Luo Xu saw that You Su was adamant and was about to say a few more words to him when border soldiers came to him from a distance. It seemed that they were talking about pollutants. He could not say much to You Su and could only follow his subordinates to solve the problem of pollutants. "I'll talk to you when I come back."

The footsteps in the corridor suddenly quickened. Ying Chenlin was standing at the back of the corridor. When he heard the sound of the border troops' combat boots, he wanted to turn around and leave. Suddenly, a hand reached out from behind and firmly grasped the back of his neck.

You Su: "Why don't you wait for me?"

Ying Chenlin stopped.

Before Ying Chenlin could speak, You Suo asked, "How much have you heard?"

"How did you know I was here?" Ying Chenlin turned around and looked at him.

You Su didn't answer the previous question, "Even if Luo Xu knew you were eavesdropping, he could only pretend not to know."

The conversation between the two did not continue here. Ying Chenlin turned his gaze away, as if he was thinking about something.

Thinking about how Shi Qingning had been asking about his physical condition after the competition some time ago, and based on what Major General Luo said today. Ying Chenlin probably knew what Shi Qingning was worried about. His mental power performance was very strange, from the slow recovery of his mental power after the genetic disease surgery at the beginning to the recovery and growth of his mental power in the Star Alliance Tournament. The unusual situation was indeed a cause for concern.

Ying Chenlin knew his condition. He had no symptoms of genetic disease in the past 18 years.

The two lives are different. Ying Chenlin knew about his deteriorating condition in his previous life. He only knew what physical signs would appear if the disease worsened. His current condition is very good, which is different from his previous life.

The corridor fell quiet, You Su's gaze fell on the boy's head. The boy looked distracted, which meant that Ying Chenlin was thinking.

"Let's go." You Su looked at the maintenance room of the warship in the distance. Other mecha masters seemed to be gathered together to discuss something. "There is a 25% probability that you had no connection with Kronos in the past. Your mother was also infected by other pollutants from Koria at that time. Your genetic disease is most likely not related to Kronos."

When Ying Chenlin heard You Su say this, he raised his right hand, and the mechanical arm opened and closed freely in his hand. "You Su, 25% is one in four, the probability is very high."

You Su's eyes stopped at Ying Chenlin's robotic arm. He rarely asked Ying Chenlin questions about his robotic arm. "Probability is the difference between having and not having. You don't have it."

Ying Chenlin paused and said, "Well, you are right."

You Su paused for a moment and asked another question: "Have you taken the injection today?"

"No." Ying Chenlin: "The military doctor said to wait two hours before using other medicine."

"You seem to be very familiar with Major General Luo." Ying Chenlin: "He seems to tell you everything."

"He is my mother's student, from the Third Star Region, and can be considered an old subordinate of my mother." You Su and Ying Chenlin walked side by side, and mentioned Luo Xu in a very normal tone, "When he was still a border soldier, he often came here to visit my mother, so I got to know him and we became friends."

When Luo Xu entered the warship control room, the adjutant walked beside him and said to Luo Xu, who remained silent, "You didn't tell him everything. Shi Xuejun's genetic disease was discovered after Koria, and Kronos had an incubation period for her genetic infection."

After the adjutant finished speaking, Luo Xu just smiled and said, "You are meddling too much."

You Su is a person who likes to get to the bottom of things. At the beginning, he was able to resolutely retire from the Border Army despite everyone's opposition, turn against his father Lin Yi, and go to the Mecha Alliance alone. Luo

Xu already knew what You Su looked like. Having known You Su for so long, he already knew that You Su was a man of his word, difficult to communicate with, and everyone had his own opinions.

The only thing is that You Su's personality is very similar to his mother You Yuying.

He seems cold-hearted, but in fact he is loyal and righteous.

Luo Xu was quite surprised to see You Su staying in the KID Mecha Base for such a long time and having a good relationship with his teammates, but at the same time he hoped that You Su would stay in the Mecha Alliance and KID.

"We can't reveal too much." Luo Xu's expression became more restrained, and his approachable feeling turned into seriousness. "And Ying Chenlin seems to be a smart person. He is getting better now, and our mission is just to protect him."

The adjutant nodded: "I understand, Major General."

Luo Xu did not communicate with his adjutant. After entering the control room, he immediately contacted the Star Alliance’s highest united front group.

When Wei Changyang's virtual image appeared in front of him, he immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, "Commander Wei."

-*

When Ying Chenlin and You Su returned to the starship maintenance room, a group of mecha technicians were gathered together.

When the other members of KID saw the two men coming, they hurriedly called them to come and see the weapons and combat readiness.

The Border Army can mobilize special energy bombs to the Mecha Division in wartime. The Alliance Mecha Division is different from the Border Mecha Division. There are special regulations for their mechas and combat readiness. The use of weapons and equipment beyond the regulations is not allowed within the Star Alliance. Only when performing tasks in contaminated areas will the Alliance Mecha Division carry additional weapons if allowed by the contaminated area.

We have encountered border troops on several missions, but this is the first time we have obtained the border's special wartime energy bombs from the border troops' combat readiness warehouse.

"Where have you two been for so long?" Ji Qingfeng handed the weapon list to Ying Chenlin: "There are only two types, one is a cannonball, and the other is a melee charging weapon that can increase the power to carry."

"You rarely encounter large amounts of S-class pollutants in the inner polluted areas. These special weapons are used for border operations. This time, the Star Alliance has specially authorized the mecha division to use them." The border soldier said, "They can make you attack S-class pollutants more than three times more effective. They are more useful than carrying other energy weapons. They can kill S-class pollutants faster."

When the starship maintenance engineer heard this, he specifically instructed: "Don't use that energy bomb of yours anymore!"

The mecha masters nodded one after another. When they had new energy bombs, why would they still use the old ones?

They applied for combat readiness at the Border Army's arsenal. Lin Yao picked out an enhancer and said, "Major General Luo is a good person. He gave us so many combat readiness options!"

Ji Qingfeng: "He is young and promising. He really looks young. When he first came here, I thought he was an ordinary border soldier. I didn't expect him to be a major general."

"Really? Don't be fooled by his appearance." You Su said simply, "He is 39."

Ying Chenlin looked at You Su after hearing this: "39?"

Alice paused while selecting the weapon and asked in surprise, "How does he maintain it?"

"It doesn't make you look old." You Suo skillfully applied for a large number of energy bombs in the list. Seeing these familiar energy bombs, he did not hesitate and recommended a combat weapon to Ying Chenlin. "If you use this, it will greatly increase the bonus of the medical mecha."

It took the Border Force half a day to completely remove the pollutants that had escaped from the cracks outside the Lyra contaminated area. After confirming that the crack reaction had completely disappeared, the Border Force set out for the Lyra contaminated area, taking the original logistics personnel on the SLY starship with them, and all of them headed for the next Ork galaxy where a crack existed.

When they arrived at the Oak Galaxy, half of the Oak Galaxy had been designated as a new danger zone, and some inhabited planets were undergoing emergency evacuation. Ying Chenlin and others did not encounter anyone from the Dawn Galaxy or the SLY team. The people who delivered the mecha keys were border troops.

The Shuguang people finally got their familiar main mecha. When Ying Chenlin checked the mecha, he also found that a large number of energy tubes were stuffed in the storage compartment. He didn't know who stuffed them in. When seeing these energy tubes, Ji Qingfeng and Lin Yao were almost moved to tears. After checking all the equipment.

Upon asking, I found out that it was prepared by the various Dawn bases and Li Jingyan. The recruitment missions of the two star fields were of great importance. Chairman Li Jingyan knew that the Dawn mecha divisions would probably not withdraw from the recruitment mission. The only things that could be prepared for them were these combat preparations. The rest could only depend on the mecha divisions themselves.

After getting the mecha, the others were going to check it and load border army weapons. Ying Chenlin glanced into the distance. When he came up to the starship to get the mecha, he noticed that there was a place on the starship that was not on the warships of the third star domain. It seemed to be a database only available on high-level warships.

The border army soldiers summarized the combat readiness selected by the mecha divisions and immediately mobilized support for the combat readiness.

Ying Chenlin looked at the others who were either resting or studying weapons. Seeing that You Su was being asked about weapons by Ji Qingfeng and others, he hesitated slightly and looked at the border soldiers next to him.

"Hello, I want to know where I can find information." Ying Chenlin walked up to the border soldier and said, "I want a copy of Kronos' intelligence."

The Border Army paused after hearing this, and quickly confirmed with his superior, "The file cannot be exported, but we can take you to the starship's database to look at it."

In special circumstances, intelligence will be appropriately disclosed to the Covenant mecha divisions.

The database that Ying Chenlin wanted to go to was easier to get to than he thought.

While others were busy mobilizing weapons, Ying Chenlin went to the Border Army to ask for the existing publicly available intelligence on Kronos. The database that the Border Army made public to the Alliance Mecha Division was more comprehensive than the database Ying Chenlin had originally seen. After entering words related to Kronos, all the information available for viewing was displayed.

The first thing Ying Chenlin clicked on to check was Kronos's supernatural powers. When he was in Slarede, You Su had told him the details. Kronos was a pollutant that could control the flow of time in some areas. During battle, the time dimension it was in was different from theirs.

The information filled in the border army database is similar to what You Su said, but Ying Chenlin wants to check more than just Kronos's abilities. There is no clear image of Kronos in the database. There is only a blurry concrete image left. This concrete image seems to have been recorded 11 years ago. Kronos's body is not very big. Originally, Ying Chenlin thought that Kronos should be an animal-type pollutant, but after seeing the characteristics of the data, he found that Kronos's body shape 11 years ago was more like an insect-type pollutant.

The materialized image can only be used as a basic feature for identification. After reading the materialized image, Ying Chenlin wanted to look for new information. When he was swiping, he suddenly found that there was information related to Kronos that appeared in the database three days ago.

[Kronos Energy Track Record]

Ying Chenlin clicked on the information and saw a clear timeline, each of which showed a special event.

In the year 1221, on the cruise ship of the Nolan Galaxy,

In 1224, the polluted area of ​​the Keze galaxy...

Chen Lin had heard of these special events. They were some of the major events that happened in the Star Alliance over the past few decades...

When he saw this clear timeline, the first thing he thought of was his grandfather's records in the old house. He turned on the optical computer and played out the data that had been imported into the optical computer at that time. He compared his grandfather's time records with the time registered in the border army data and found that his grandfather's data recorded the Kronos energy reaction after 1223.

The records of my grandfather’s old house only go up to 1234, so after 1234, it’s the new records of the border army.

Ying Chenlin's finger hovered over the virtual screen. On the clear data list on the virtual screen, there was only one event in 1234 -

[1234 Aurora System K-UYT145 flight crashed]

"1234, flight K-UYT145." Ying Chenlin read out the flight number: "Crash flight."

The flight that crashed in Yingsongshan. When this long-anticipated fact appeared before Ying Chenlin, he found himself calmer than he had imagined. Perhaps it was when he saw the record in the old house, or when his grandfather took him to live in Mingguang Star under an assumed name, or perhaps it was when he handed over the storage device to the border troops...

He knew that his grandfather's lost records and that particular crashed flight might not be as simple as he imagined.

Ying Chenlin stayed in 1234 for several minutes before slowly paddling down, and saw that three years ago, in 1244, You Su witnessed Kronos evolving into a super S-level pollutant.

Time passed little by little in the database. Ying Chenlin repeatedly matched the things in the border army records with the records of his grandfather that he had kept. He didn't know how much time had passed when he heard a sound coming from the corner.

Ying Chenlin turned around and saw You Su.

You Su didn't know how long he had been standing there. When he saw him looking at him, he said, "Sorry to bother you."

"No." Ying Chenlin closed the information. "When did you come here?"

You Su knew that Ying Chenlin would definitely find a chance to check Chronos after hearing what Luo Xu said on the starship. When he came to the starship, he saw Ying Chenlin looking at the data room several times. "It's been a while. Do you want to look at something else? I'll help you get the permission."

Ying Chenlin shook his head, looked at the information on the file, and asked again: "Did Kronos evolve to S-level only 11 years ago? I see that this document does not clearly state it."

You Su pushed aside a piece of data on the virtual screen next to him and pushed it in front of him through the virtual screen of the database. "You don't have to doubt it, because the S-level information comes from the late Lieutenant General You Yuying. My mother will not give false information."

Ying Chenlin looked at You Su after hearing this, and thought of what You Su had mentioned before, and paused: "Sorry."

You Su's expression was calm. "Don't overthink it. I'm telling you the truth. Are you curious about its evolution?"

The evolution of Kronos violated the rules of pollutants. It took a long time for it to evolve from A-level to S-level. However, starting from the border of the third star field 11 years ago, the evolution time of Kronos was shortened. It only took eight years for it to evolve from S-level to super S-level.

This has always been the direction of the border army's investigation.

"Yousui." Ying Chenlin suddenly asked, "Is Kronos's ability only to control the flow of time?"

You Su looked at him and found that Ying Chenlin's expression was a little strange. His peripheral vision fell on the virtual screen in front of Ying Chenlin, "We don't have any other evidence of its supernatural powers at the moment, but there should be more than that."

"That's more than that." Ying Chenlin lowered his eyes slightly.

If it were before, Ying Chenlin would not think about anything else, but after knowing that Shi Xuejun was related to Kronos, he had to think of something that no one in the world knew, a secret that only he knew.

Unlike everyone else, he was born again, returning to the age of 18 after a genetic disease struck in his previous life.

Assuming that the genetic disease in his body is really inseparable from Kronos, then if he is reborn, what about Kronos?

Will it be reborn?

The author has something to say:
