Chapter 262 [Added] Destroying the World and Racing Against Death

"I have always been responsible. Otherwise, I would not have volunteered to be imprisoned in the cemetery by you, guarding the one-fifth of your uncontaminated brain nerves."

The words "voluntary" and "imprisonment" sound contradictory. But the gloomy and quiet acquiescence made people wonder whether they had reached some kind of agreement.

Ifas.

——His former name.

For example, some humans who are prepared for the worst may preserve the umbilical cord or spinal cord in advance to deal with possible diseases in the future.

Yu Chen has done something similar.

In early adulthood, he separated a portion of his brain and preserved it for future use.

For marine creatures, the idea of ​​having their brains sliced ​​apart isn't particularly shocking.

Octopuses have nine brains, eight of which are located in their arms.

The brains of pure-blooded mermaids at a higher evolutionary level are even more developed than humans can imagine - in theory, they can attach brain neurons to any limb organ, and each organ can make its own decisions. Therefore, the capillary network covered with fish eyes eating mosquitoes outside the omega window can be magically performed in the real world.

"Ifas" was the largest portion he cut out.

It actually has a physical form—if you have good eyesight, you can look deep into a damp cemetery and see the wriggling nerve cells in the moss on the tombstones, in the puddles, and hanging from the ceiling.

They are like living bacteria, breathing in and out the air, and with the breathing, tiny bubbles that make your scalp numb surge out.

These nerve cells can be highly differentiated at any time, combining into bones, muscles, blood vessels, and skin, turning into another depressed clone.

But "Ifas" was always unwilling to obtain a body.

It is more inclined to maintain a ghost-like state, like the magnetic field video formed by lightning in the ancient palace, suspended above the tombstone, fragmented and blurred. When it is unhappy, it will turn into a mess of snowflakes and dots, making anyone who steps into the mermaid cemetery think they have accidentally entered a male ghost movie set.

Maybe it's because they separated too early.

"Ifas" is far more temperamental than the depression that has lasted for hundreds of years.

Such a young fish, whose scales have not yet been smoothed and rounded, is imprisoned in the burial place of its ancestors and can only see the outside world once every ten years. He was naturally going to be mean.

Yu Chen was tolerant and understanding, but he said helplessly: "If you really want to see him, please be gentler next time."

"When is the next time?"

"Next time someone walks into this cemetery, I hope you can be gentle, even if it's just pretend."

"Pretending?" Mosaic laughed with a trembling laugh, "Am I pretending like you?"

"Um."

"I understand that you're worried that he'll have a bad impression of you," Mosaic said proudly, "but he's your omega, what does it have to do with me?"

"Selfishness is not a good quality." Yu Chen sighed.

The mosaic floated over, and the swaying blurry blocks formed a raised eyebrow. "Is that how you evaluate your 'original intention'?"

Yu Chen folded his arms and leaned against the wall, pretending to think: "That's true. As my original intention, you must be as pragmatic as I am. Let's wait until he comes."

"Hello!"

"how?"

"Did I hear you right? Are you asking me to take care of your child?" It knew itself very well and immediately realized that something was wrong. "What exactly are you going to do?"

It quickly thought of something, "You told me this last time, didn't you? Those Earthlings are coming? You've been blocking them for seventy years, but you still can't stop them."

Yu Chen lowered his eyes, brushed off a creeping insect on his trouser leg, and said in a serious tone, "Please praise me. Seventy years is a long time. I expected this outbreak."

"No wonder, that thing has set its sights on you and is determined to blow you up. Even if you divide your brain cells to build a defense system, it will be difficult to sustain."

People always fear Isoparaiso's strength and criticize his enormous control, but no one has ever really thought about what this unnecessary strength and omnipresence is used to resist.

Lions would not evolve ferocious claws and fangs for no reason, unless there were more terrifying enemies on the other side of the grassland.

Sensing the emotions of "Ifas", Yu Chen said lightly: "Don't pity me."

"This is not pity, it's gloating." Mosaic made a self-deprecating sound. It trembled into a mess of lines and made a highly anthropomorphic motion, lowering its jaw towards the depths of the cemetery. "Who told you not to be a puppet like them?"

"And I've already told you that this world is rotten to the core. Your plan is only a temporary solution and will inevitably fail."

Yu Chen looked up suddenly, feeling as if he had heard similar words somewhere before. But the difference is that his baby is not so pessimistic——

"I have advised you to destroy it and burn the world clean. Then the universe will return to prehistoric civilization, with green plants and prosperity. How wonderful."

I have no idea whether the consciousness locked up here is evil or good.

Yu was silent for a moment, frowned, and asked him: "You still can't let go of that thing?"

“…”

A madman who wants to destroy the world must have suffered treatment that ordinary people cannot bear. Not wanting to have a body may also be because they don’t want to see themselves in a completely unrecognizable state.

"When my omega comes, you can talk to him about this. Maybe he will give you a different opinion." Yu Chen suggested.

“…”

The long silence forced the conversation to end, and Yu Chen changed the subject: "Let's not talk about this. This time I came here to ask you for a favor. Merge with me temporarily and help me increase the threshold of the themis system to the maximum."

"How much do you want?" Mosaic said slowly.

“90%.”

The power that exists here in advance will never be used until the critical moment. It's like a blood bag stored in a freezer. Once you drink it, there's no going back.

However, everyone knows that Isoparaiso is insidious and cunning, and is very smart, so he might have Plan C, Plan D, or Plan Z.

"Ifas" agreed, and they underwent a partial integration, during which they also exchanged some information about the events that had occurred in the past ten years.

Of course, some of the beautiful scenes that only happened in the house, on the bed, on the bathroom floor and on the kitchen island were not shared by the kind-hearted older mermaid.

Before leaving, the twisted and dark mosaic suddenly asked:

"Your new country is called the Third Experimental Country? You continued with that name."

"Yes," he put one hand lazily in his trouser pocket, turned his green eyes to the side, and looked at it calmly, "I want it to be hung on the country's name, as a permanent warning after the revolutionary war is over."

"Your omega agreed too?"

"Not yet," Yu Chen turned his head and looked at the dark cave ahead, his voice echoing in a low voice, "but I will convince him."

·

After capturing the Imperial flagship, Bai Ling and Xi Wusi also seized a complete set of battleships and frigates.

In addition, they accepted prisoners who surrendered voluntarily and prepared to train them as their own soldiers.

However, the surrendered Horned Eagle shook his head and denied this idea. "All the soldiers on this ship who can drive mechas have been installed with brain-computer interfaces and injected with a large amount of drugs."

"This drug is addictive and dependent, and the chip frequency band in it may also take away their body consciousness. If we want to contain them, I'm afraid it will do more harm than good."

In fact, the hornbill was a little nervous when he said this. Even after she finished speaking, she still felt a little regretful.

She was afraid that Bai Ling was also a person who put profit above all else. As soon as he heard that this group of people were useless, he would directly order their execution without even giving them a chance to live.

Bai Ling knew that she would not lie to him about such a thing. Moreover, he had seen too many things in his previous life, such as using brain-computer interfaces to fight and actually using human lives as fuel for mechas.

Bai Ling instructed his adjutant Hal: "Take these prisoners back and send them directly to Silver Diamond Star to be locked up and let them 'detoxify'. Contact Doctor Zhuo Liangmu Zhuo and ask him if there is any way to remove the interface. He is an expert in brain nerves and his opinion is authoritative. If he can be cured, send these prisoners back home and reimburse their travel expenses as a severance payment. It can be regarded as an exchange for these imperial warships."

The harpy eagle's black pupils slowly widened, and the rocket-tail-like feathers on its head rose up and spread out into a shocked feather fan.

This is not the end.

Bai Ling thought about it and added, "By the way, Admiral Jiao's family members must also be protected."

Hal saluted calmly: "Please rest assured, as soon as we accepted the surrender, we entrusted Raven to take care of the matter and take away Admiral Horn's spouse and relatives before the Empire retaliates."

Bai Ling praised: "Very good, well done."

They are efficient and quick, and they handle things properly. There is absolute trust between superiors and subordinates, and subordinates also have the autonomy to make flexible arrangements.

With such a team atmosphere, even the most powerful artificial intelligence will be difficult to defeat.

The hornbills sighed, and then they realized where the imperial army had lost.

Bai Ling heard her sighing slowly and thought she was feeling unwell. Thinking that she had also suffered at the hands of Cen Yan, he injected her with a connecting agent and said to her in a comforting tone:

"General Jiao, you don't have to worry too much. As far as I know, even though Cen Yan lied to you, the injection needs at least 72 hours to be completely metabolized. But as long as you don't add drugs during the process, a single injection will not leave a lifelong impact."

"Of course," he said with a smile, changing the subject, "I'll have to trouble you to put yourself in solitary confinement for the next 72 hours."

"That's natural," the harpy eagle readily agreed.

However, she came to see Bai Ling because she had another important matter to report:

"Commander Bai, I know you want to enter New Columbus. Due to the need to replenish strategic resources, this main ship, the Magellan, was once approved for post-war landing, so the key to the dark matter energy shield was installed."

"But the key can actually be modified. If I'm not mistaken, the right to modify it lies in the hands of the New Columbus people."

Bai Ling realized something and frowned, "So what you mean is that even though I got the key, the other party may have changed the password?"

Wouldn't that be all in vain?

"It's possible, but there's still a chance!" The Horned Eagle said seriously, "For such a huge shield, it takes time to modify and update the key. As far as I know, the key is changed every day, and the update time is at least 4 hours."

"If you set out to attack the star right now, you will definitely make it in time!"

Bai Ling instantly raised his eyes and looked at the electronic clock on the wall. He remembered clearly that it was 23:06 local time when the ship was seized, and now it was 0:02, which means -

He had 3 hours and 4 minutes left.

It would take an hour and a half to drive a large flagship from this area of ​​space, bypass the Santa Maria asteroid belt, and reach the outer atmosphere of New Columbus.

There can't be any accidents during this period.

In this way, the time left for him to descend into the atmosphere was only 1 hour and 34 minutes.

And these 1 hour and 34 minutes will determine whether he can rescue Kidd.

“A race with death again?”

The harpy eagle thought he would find it difficult. After all, they had just finished one battle and had to rush to the next one so soon. Even with spare troops rotating, Bai Ling, who was in charge of the combat command, would feel exhausted and tired.

However, the falcon simply relaxed its shoulder bones, and stretched its wings as if it was standing on one foot on a branch. Then he walked to the command desk and gave orders to the all-channel communication in a tired but powerful voice:

"Everyone, please fasten your seat belts. All troops, speed up to the maximum speed segment. Our army will immediately attack New Columbus--!!"

Although he was standing in the command room, with thick soundproof panels outside, the horn eagle could hear the overwhelming response of the soldiers on the ship:

"——Yes, Commander!!!"

The former enemy ship became our Noah's Ark, carrying everyone to the other side where the stars shine, to snatch heads from God's hands.

On the way, Xiwu Si came over and saw Bai Ling was sitting next to the command desk with his elbows resting and dozing off. He decisively drove him away and told him to find a comfortable and clean bed to sleep on.

In fact, even after I got over the sleepiness, I couldn’t fall asleep even if I wanted to. Bai Ling had someone clean up the deputy commander's lounge and went in to lie down for a while.

Take out the terminal, and the quantum communication signal is full. The cold light of the screen shone on his face. He hesitated for a while, and finally dialed Zhuo Liangmu's contact number to ask how the mermaid was doing.

If allowed, it would be even better if I could see the sleeping mermaid through the glass.

However, Zhuo Liangmu started to hesitate, and after asking, he found out that the other party had sent him more than ten messages before. But I don’t know if it was because the communication nodes were not good during the war, Bai Ling didn’t receive any message.

"What kind of news is worth sending ten messages to ask me?" Bai Ling frowned and sat up from the single bed. "Did something happen to him?"

"...Well, it's not a big deal. Actually, this is mainly--"

Zhuo Liangmu was still trying to get away with it, but the mentally broken little doctor had already collapsed and turned himself in: "I'm sorry Commander Bai! We didn't keep an eye on the monarch, and let his mental thread escape!"

At the same time, the capital star——

The sea breeze was strong, and the dark, cold rocks were beaten with white bubbles by the huge waves. A pale but powerful hand grasped the rock, and another person climbed up with great effort.

Yu Chen walked against the wind, tilted his head to twist the water droplets dripping from his hair, his elegant brows and expression were indifferent. He was about to go back to take a hot bath and drink some sea buckthorn juice, but he was stopped by a minister who was running towards him in a hurry.

Rameau held the terminal, and shouted in a tense tone like the end of the world: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Her Majesty the Queen found that you ran away from home--"

Yu Chen thought, forget it, I can’t hide it for long. He asked calmly, "What did he say?"

"He called a meeting of the Demon King Pillar and asked us where you were. He also said that if you didn't answer the call, he would burn down the small garden you had been working so hard to take care of."

Yu Chen: “…”

A strong wind blew by, and the seagulls above head screamed "Ah! Ah! Ah!" as if they were laughing in glee at someone else's misfortune.

Baby being angry doesn't destroy the world.

Baby destroy your garden.

Ramo hurriedly tried to pass over the hot potato terminal.

The monarch said, "Press it off and reject the call."

Rameau: "..."

Rameau: "And your little garden..."

——What terrible thing are you doing hiding from Her Majesty the Queen that you would even abandon precious plants? ! It’s terrifying when you think about it.

The monarch looked normal and his emotions were very stable. He waved his hand behind him and his voice came with the wind:

"Let it burn, and when it turns to ashes, it will grow better next spring."
