Chapter 90
After a long time, the Lookout finally established communication.
Jack, the second-in-command of Dark River, appeared on the light screen in front of Song Tingyun.
As soon as the other party arrived, he took the initiative and asked, "What are you going to do, Marshal? We are all legal citizens."
If mercenaries say they are legal, people will probably laugh at them.
But Jack not only said it, he also said it with confidence.
Song Tingyun didn't intend to argue with him about the word "legal citizen." Instead, he said, "Romilda Black is suspected of colluding with Zerg mutants to murder humans. As her partners, you need to be investigated. Please open the docking port of the Overwatch immediately and do not attempt to resist."
Jack raised his eyebrows when he heard this. "What if I say no?"
Judging from his reaction, he probably already knew that Romilda had become a mutant, and maybe even he was one of them.
Song Tingyun's expression remained unchanged: "Then we can only use force."
"Yeah?"
Jack smiled. He didn't seem worried about his situation at all. Instead, he brought up another topic: "I recently heard some bombshell news. Our Morning Star, who just returned from a bloody battle, is no longer human. What do you think, Marshal?"
Upon hearing this, Song Tingyun's expression instantly turned cold, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Seeing Song Tingyun didn't answer, Jack said smugly, "I think a dead person is dead. No matter how similar a replica is, it's just a fake. Why should it enjoy the same treatment as the original? Besides, who can guarantee that she won't have ulterior motives? Zerg mutants could potentially overthrow human rule, so why not artificial humans? I say, Marshal, you should set a good example for the people and kill her to serve as a warning to others."
Song Tingyun interrupted him directly: "What exactly do you want to say?"
This person's words and deeds were constantly trying to provoke him. When Song Tingyun first heard the word "fake", he almost lost control, but by the end he calmed down.
Jack sneered, "Why, Marshal, you can't bear to kill her? If you don't want to kill her, then why do you want to kill all the mutants? Don't be so hypocritical."
From the moment Jack put Fu Qin and the Zerg mutants on the same level, his words could basically be regarded as nonsense and there was no need to pay too much attention to them, but Song Tingyun still couldn't help laughing after hearing them.
Song Tingyun didn't bother explaining the difference between the two and simply asked, "Are you speaking for the mutants? Do I understand this as you want to side with the mutants and become our enemy?"
"I didn't say that," Jack said with a smooth expression. "If you, Marshal, think I'm wrong, you can post this on Starnet and let the public judge and hear everyone's opinions."
After going around in circles for so long, Jack finally revealed his intentions.
Song Tingyun: "Are you trying to use this to threaten me and make me let you go?"
"How can that be considered a threat?" Jack waved his hand. "But if you insist on keeping me here, I have plenty of time to argue with you, Marshal. It's just a Star Network post; it won't take long."
"What do you say, Marshal?"
Song Tingyun was silent.
He certainly knew what it would mean if he let the Lookout go now. No one knew what Davis would do during this time, or whether he would be plotting a bigger conspiracy.
If we want to eradicate them completely, we must never let them go.
But as Jack said, it really doesn't take much time to send a message on the Star Network. He can send countless messages during the time of resistance.
If Jack really posted the news that Fu Qin was a cyborg on Starnet, no one could guarantee what kind of comments would appear.
How much opposition will there be? Will it affect Fuqin himself? These are all unpredictable.
Song Tingyun and the others had gone to so much trouble to cover up the fact that Fu Qin had died once, pretending that she had always been alive. Wasn't it just to avoid these possible risks?
So he must never be allowed to post it on StarNet.
Song Tingyun thought.
Seeing that Song Tingyun was silent, Jack urged: "How is it? Has the Marshal made a decision?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Qin, who had been listening in on the same channel for most of the day, finally couldn't help but interrupt: "Davis, is that you? Stop hiding behind him. The tone of your voice clearly indicates you."
Jack was choked by her words and simply stopped pretending: "It's me. Since Song Tingyun can't make a decision, why don't you make it yourself? I have the press release copy and an 800-word essay ready, and they can be published at any time."
"You send it." Fu Qin said indifferently.
Fu Qin said this and sent a message to all 30,000 mecha soldiers:
[Bai Hao: Davis is on the starship, everyone is ready.]
Song Tingyun also saw the message she sent and felt mixed emotions.
This was the second time his threat failed. Jack looked surprised. "Are you really not worried at all?"
If the people of the Federation knew that Fu Qin was not human, at the very least his status and reputation would be affected, and he would lose everything he had now. At worst, he would end up like a mutant and be hunted down and killed.
Do these really not matter?
Fu Qin was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and responded with actions.
Bai Hao aimed his electromagnetic cannon at the Lookout and fired decisively.
The electromagnetic cannon finally exploded on the energy shield outside the Lookout.
This is a signal.
Amidst the crackling flashes of electric sparks, the other mechas also launched attacks towards the Lookout. Various long-range weapons continuously smashed into the energy shield outside the Lookout, causing the color of the energy shield to fade significantly with the naked eye.
Song Tingyun joined the battle somewhat slowly, and asked Fu Qin, "Have you thought it through?"
Just after Fu Qin fired, Jack cut off the communication. At this moment, only Fu Qin and Song Tingyun were left in the channel.
Hearing Song Tingyun's question, Fu Qin thought without hesitation: "Other people's opinions have nothing to do with me, and I can't control them. Let them be. At most, they will say a few words, but they can't beat me anyway. But Davis, I must catch him this time."
After listening to this, Song Tingyun sighed and said, "You are right."
He has a narrow mind.
Song Tingyun then added, "No matter what others say, we will stand with you. There is no doubt about that."
"I know." Fu Qin replied.
While the two were talking, they did not stop attacking the Lookout.
The energy shield on the Lookout began to crack after a few minutes. The cracks spread little by little and soon covered the entire energy shield.
Under the gazes of everyone, the energy shield finally shattered due to enduring too many attacks. Its fragments turned into starlight and dissipated in the universe.
The attack did not stop because the Lookout, having lost its energy shield, was about to use its hull to meet the artillery fire.
Unexpectedly, they thought that the Lookout would not be able to hold out for long, but unexpectedly, it was not affected at all by round after round of artillery fire, and not even a scar appeared on its surface.
Was the Lookout also modified?
Fu Qin couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.
At this moment, the Lookout also began to move.
There was a row of shells opened on each side of it, with a total of 36 gun muzzles all open, aimed at the federal troops in all directions.
Under the influence of the Lookout's shells, the nearby federal troops had to drive mechas to dodge, and for a while the situation was a bit chaotic.
The Lookout seized the opportunity and rushed towards the direction where the mecha formation was dispersing, trying to break out of the encirclement.
Song Tingyun's Qianxing flew directly to the front, blocking the way of the Lookout.
During this time, people kept attacking the Lookout, and the Lookout fought back without giving in.
Despite the fierce and continuous exchange of fire between the two sides, the Lookout remained unscathed. However, someone on the Federation side was unfortunately injured and had to withdraw from the siege to repair his mecha.
Not only that, as the Lookout moved forward bit by bit, its appearance also changed, gradually turning into an invulnerable mobile fortress, and it accelerated and rushed towards Qianxing.
The speed was so fast that even Song Tingyun had to temporarily avoid the attack.
Qian Xing took a step back, attached his mental power to his weapon and slashed towards the Lookout, finally succeeding in cutting a hole in it.
But soon, the fresh cut healed quickly and no trace was left.
The Lookout returned to its original state.
After seeing this scene, Fu Qin finally understood that the manufacturing material of the Lookout was probably the same as that of the mutants' mecha.
But a starship is much larger than a mecha.
It takes a lot of time to complete the modification of such a large project.
It seems that Davis has already prepared to run away.
No wonder Jack didn't seem worried about his situation just now.
The Lookout rushed forward, and the surrounding mechas had to dodge away.
Seeing this, Fu Qin, who was behind the Lookout, also waved the silk thread and cut towards it, trying to delay the Lookout's actions.
To be able to transform mental power and attach it to the main weapon, it must be at least an SS-level mecha.
There were only thirty or forty SS and above mechas on the field.
These mechas also took action and launched mental attacks towards the Lookout.
But that’s not enough.
Seeing that the Watcher was about to break away from the encirclement, an idea suddenly flashed through Fu Qin's mind.
She immediately said to Song Tingyun, "I've thought of a way to stop them, but it's quite risky and there's a chance it could get out of control."
After listening to this, Song Tingyun only asked, "Do you think you can control it?"
Fu Qin affirmed, "I can."
Song Tingyun: "I believe you."
This sentence is enough.
Fu Qin immediately sent a message in the channel where everyone was present:
【Bai Hao: Everyone, step back.】
After seeing the news, everyone immediately retreated in an orderly manner, leaving a large space in the middle.
Fu Qin piloted Bai Hao and flew directly above the Lookout.
She looked at the starship below and took out a piece of black phosphorus ore from the mecha space.
The white mineral glows faintly and looks particularly harmless.
But the moment it was taken out, the speed of the Lookout slowed down and soon stopped.
Fu Qin knew that drastic changes were taking place inside the calm Lookout.
Since it cannot be harmed from the outside, start destroying it from the inside.
