Mech Upgrade + Zerg Invasion + StarCraft + Warrior Evolution + Bottom-Up Rise. (This novel has a slow start but gets increasingly exciting later on. It is already over a million words long, so you ...
Hearing Leng Yu's words, Mo Tianyun smiled and nodded, saying, "Go ahead and speak. Your captain is now a general. I have the right to investigate everything that happens at the Duna Star defense military base and within a dozen light-years of the surrounding area!"
"Then I'll tell you."
Leng Yu suddenly grabbed Leng Feng's hand and said to Mo Tianyun.
"Didn't I tell you before, Captain? Leng Feng and I aren't biological siblings; we're not related by blood."
Leng Yu spoke slowly, while Leng Feng looked at Mo Tianyun with anticipation in his eyes.
Leng Feng is not good at expressing himself and usually keeps quiet. On the contrary, Leng Yu is very good at expressing herself. The two complement each other's personalities.
Although Leng Yu appears cold to strangers, once you get to know her, you'll find that she's actually warm-hearted despite her cold exterior.
"This happened 20 years ago, when my parents and Leng Feng's biological parents were at the Duna Star Defense Military Base..."
"Their small team suddenly received a mission..."
"Unexpectedly, they encountered a mysterious mech midway through the journey, which attacked the entire fleet..."
"I heard from them that in that battle, nearly half of the entire fleet died. Three people from their squad died on the spot, including Leng Feng's parents and a woman named Nara."
"By the way, the woman named Nara, according to my parents, is the couple of one of their team members named Sika."
Mo Tianyun was fine when he heard this, but his mind was originally preoccupied with wondering who this mysterious mecha pilot was.
Upon suddenly hearing Leng Yu utter the word "Sika," his expression turned to one of astonishment, and he began to concentrate even more intently on what Leng Yu was saying.
"After that, the mysterious mech disappeared without a trace, and information about the war was also hidden. At that time, my parents were only at the rank of sergeant and had no ability to investigate the matter. So I asked Captain Tianyun to help me investigate the matter from back then."
"Although most of the people at the Duna Star Defense Military Base have died in the recent battle, and the murderer may already be dead, I still request Captain Tianyun's help to investigate!"
(For more details, please refer to Chapter 114! We're just filling in the gaps now; it's been so long, I wonder if everyone has forgotten.)
After Leng Yu finished speaking, she observed Mo Tianyun's expression, waiting for his reaction.
However, Mo Tianyun's first words were completely unexpected by Leng Yu.
"Leng Yu, I'm asking you, do you know any details about this person named Sika that you just mentioned?"
Mo Tianyun remembered that Grandpa Sika had said before that before he found him as a baby, Grandpa Sika was a soldier, and an ordinary combat mech division.
Later, when Sika turned ten, he suddenly said he was going to join the army, and then Sika never came back.
When he was a child, Xiao Mo Tianyun could see that Grandpa Xika would occasionally take out a holographic image playback device, and the holographic image played on the device was a young and beautiful woman.
Xiao Mo Tianyun was very curious, so he asked Grandpa Xika, "Grandpa Xika, who is this pretty lady?"
"Xiao Tianyun, this is the person I love."
Grandpa Sika said with a smile, but his eyes held endless sorrow.
Who is your beloved?
Xiao Mo Tianyun, not understanding, asked in confusion.
Children are always like this; they can't hide any questions and always want to find out the truth.
“A beloved person is a beloved person, just like how I love Xiao Tianyun. You are all my beloved people.”
Grandpa Sika patted Mo Tianyun's little head and answered patiently.
"Oh, I see. So where is this pretty lady? Wouldn't it be nice if she came to live with us? That way our home would be more lively."
Mo Tianyun stared at the full-body image of the beautiful woman in front of him, grabbed Grandpa Xika's hand, and pleaded.
"Sigh—" Grandpa Sika sighed deeply, stood up, looked up at the blue sky, and continued, "She won't live with us anymore, because she went far away, very, very far away."
Xiao Mo Tianyun suddenly fell silent. It turned out that he had asked a bad question and hurt Grandpa Xika's feelings.
When Grandpa Sika was at the Duna Star Defense Military Base, he was only about 30 years old. The sudden change caused his hair to turn completely white overnight. He then returned to Cold Mountain City on Uluru Star, his hometown, and spent his days drowning his sorrows in alcohol.
When he found Mo Tianyun three years later, Grandpa Xika's face was full of wrinkles, his complexion was old, and his hair was white. He was only 30 years old, but he looked like an old man.
Three years later, when Xiao Mo Tianyun began to understand things, he started calling him Grandpa Xika.
As for Grandpa Sika's true age, Mo Tianyun still doesn't know.
When Mo Tianyun heard Leng Yu mention the names Nara and Sika, and considering that Sika's grandfather had been a soldier, he was almost certain that the Sika she was referring to was his grandfather.
Because almost everyone who joins the combat mech division will end up at the Duna Star defense military base.
When these three important clues are connected, it is very likely that Sika in the cold rain is Mo Tianyun's grandfather Sika!
"Captain, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with Sika?"
Leng Yu was a little confused. Why was her captain paying attention to this person named Xika? This didn't make sense. Shouldn't the captain have agreed to help her investigate this matter?
"I feel that the person named Sika that you mentioned, Leng Yu, must be an important relative of mine who has passed away!"
Mo Tianyun stared intently at Leng Yu and Leng Feng, and said very solemnly.
"No way!"
"What a coincidence! That person named Sika is actually a relative of Captain Tianyun?"
The cold rain sighed deeply.
What a coincidence! His own parents, Leng Feng's parents, and Captain Mo Tianyun's relatives were actually comrades-in-arms in the same squad 20 years ago.
Twenty years later, he, Leng Feng, and Captain Mo Tianyun were once again comrades-in-arms in the same squad!
Isn't that a coincidence enough?
It's important to know that before the great battle that just took place, the Duna Star Defense Military Base had hundreds of millions of soldiers. These soldiers came from dozens or even hundreds of inhabited planets near the Duna Star Defense Military Base. Leng Yu, Leng Feng, and Mo Tianyun all arrived at the Duna Star Defense Military Base at the same time. With so many new recruits, it was already a great fate that the three of them became comrades-in-arms.
Although it was Mo Tianyun who personally invited Leng Feng and Leng Yu to join the Tianyun Squad, it was still fate.
Unexpectedly, the parents of these three people were comrades in the same squad 20 years ago. It can only be said that it was truly destined. Such fate is so hard to fathom.
"Yes, if you hadn't reminded me, I would have been so busy dealing with all sorts of things, big and small, at the Duna Star Defense Military Base that I would have completely forgotten that I also wanted to investigate some things."
Mo Tianyun nodded and said.
Now he is the temporary commander-in-chief of the Duna Star Defense Military Base. There are all sorts of things, big and small, waiting for him to handle. He has almost forgotten that he also needs to investigate how Grandpa Sika sacrificed his life and why he did not receive a pension back then.
"That's perfect, Captain Tianyun. In that case, let's take this opportunity to investigate together."
Leng Yu also said with surprise.
Isn't this perfect? She, Leng Feng, and Captain Mo Tianyun's family used to be in the same team, making the investigation very convenient.
They acted immediately when they were told to, and they investigated immediately when they were told to.
Mo Tianyun immediately prepared to go to the archives of the Duna Star Defense Military Base to investigate.
Rather than calling it a data room, it's more accurate to describe it as an information and data repository.
A place that automatically stores all the information and data of soldiers at the Duna Star Defense Military Base.
No one can modify this information and data except for the supercomputer at the highest military headquarters of the Oron Empire and the most powerful peak-level supercomputer in the Oron Empire Imperial Palace.
However, to view military personnel information here, you need sufficient permissions.
If it's not crucial information about military personnel at the Duna Star defense base, generally speaking, the rank of major is sufficient to view it.
For example, information on important senior military officers like Mo Tianyun and Major General Griffiths Fred can only be viewed by those at least at the rank of Major General.
When Mo Tianyun, Leng Yu, and the others arrived at the archives, they happened to run into a colonel who was walking out of the archives.
This burly colonel had met Mo Tianyun once before. In this war, a colonel's strength was not weak, which is why he was able to survive unharmed.
"Major General!"
Colonel Will Pence bowed respectfully.
Now, Mo Tianyun has become a major general. In the Duna Star Defense Military Base, he is the highest-ranking commander-in-chief. Every soldier who sees him must respectfully salute him and call him Major General or Commander-in-Chief.
"Um!"
Mo Tianyun nodded, then led Leng Yu and the others into the archives room.
"Why is Mo Tianyun here? Could it be...? It doesn't matter now, I'm about to succeed, and you can't stop me!"
Colonel Will Pence stared at Mo Tianyun as he walked into the archives with a cold, piercing gaze, as sinister as a venomous snake.
"Let me check Grandpa Sika's military information first."
Mo Tianyun activated his personal micro-brain, connected to the massive data storage device in the archive room, and began retrieving and viewing information about Grandpa Sika.
Now, his personal microcomputer contains Grandpa Sika's military information data.
Sika (who has already sacrificed her life)
Date of sacrifice: August 19th, Year 34
Military rank before death: Corporal
Total military merit points from two stints in the military: 3512
Affiliated Legion: Combat Mech Division
Position: None
Skills: None
Family member/relative: Mo Tianyun
The Oron Empire provides a pension of 300,000 Star Coins to the family members of the deceased.
"So, there really was a compensation payment after Grandpa Sika's sacrifice. How despicable! Who's in charge of the Duna Star defense military base? They even dare to embezzle this kind of money! They're inhuman!"
Mo Tianyun was so enraged that he couldn't control his mental energy, causing the entire data room to tremble. If it weren't for the good earthquake-resistant materials here, it would have collapsed long ago.
Every soldier who risked their life to defend against the Zerg invasion on the front lines was great and glorious.
If the families of these heroic and courageous soldiers who sacrificed their lives do not receive fair treatment or compensation, how heartbroken these soldiers would be if they knew this in the afterlife!
If the people of the Oron Empire knew about this, who would be willing to join such an army?
Whether for public or private reasons, Mo Tianyun was extremely angry about this matter!
Investigate! We must investigate, and get to the bottom of this!
Because every soldier has their own personal microcomputer, everything is recorded, regardless of who is in charge. Wherever someone goes is recorded, whatever mission they receive and what mission they complete is recorded...
Mo Tianyun possessed the highest investigative authority over the Duna Star Defense Military Base. By connecting all the clues, he quickly discovered that whether it was the murderer who attacked Leng Feng and Leng Yu's parents, Grandpa Xika, and Nara 20 years ago, or the private withholding of the compensation money for the families of soldiers who died on the front lines, they all pointed to one person—Colonel Will Pence!
That's right, it's Colonel Will Pence, whom Mo Tianyun just met at the entrance of the archives!
His crimes went far beyond that; in short, millions of soldiers at the Duna Star defense base died as a result of his attack.
Furthermore, Colonel Will Pence withheld as much as 1 trillion Singapore dollars in compensation over the past 20 years!
Why did no one discover what he was doing for the past 20 years?
Because Colonel Will Pence was already a lieutenant colonel 20 years ago, very few people had the authority to access his military information. In addition, Colonel Will Pence specifically targeted the pensions of ordinary soldiers and ordinary combat mech divisions.
Even if their relatives know about the compensation, they have no way of tracing it!
No matter how many ordinary people there are, even if there are hundreds of millions, they can't cause any trouble in this vast interstellar era.
After all, with Mo Tianyun's current strength, he could easily wipe out everyone on a colony planet.
“Colonel Will Pence, very good. Major General Griffith Fred failed to detect a cancer like you before, but now I will eliminate you.”
Mo Tianyun was about to explode with anger, and said through gritted teeth.
Mo Tianyun then activated his personal microcomputer and sent a message to all officers of the rank of lieutenant and above at the Duna Star Defense Military Base.
"All officers of lieutenant rank and above in the base, assemble in front of the headquarters building in one hour!"
