    Chapter 92

    In the severe pain that could not be ignored, the images in Sheng Yi's memory became blurred and distorted.

    On his fifteenth birthday, Sheng Yi ignored Shi Ji who fell on the ground and ran to the underground training ground to play a simulated battle to his heart's content.

    Sheng Yi slept in the mecha.I had a weird dream.

    There was a strange light in the dream, and there seemed to be nothing but light.Not long after he became fresh, he felt impatient. He wanted to leave this inexplicable place, but he couldn't get out no matter how hard he walked.

    Just when he couldn't help but start to feel scared, the dream finally woke up.

    He was still in the mecha, feeling more tired than ever and having a headache for some reason.

    Sheng Yi didn't take it to heart, thinking that it was just over-training, probably because he didn't get used to the new mecha well, the synchronization efficiency was not high, and he was a little cold because the temperature control system was turned on too low.

    He was still immersed in the excitement of having a new mecha. He spent several days in the training room. Even three meals were delivered by Shi Ji and he had a few hasty meals.

    Sheng Yi wanted to be admitted to the military academy and become the strongest mecha operator.

    A few days later, Sheng's father, who returned from the military headquarters, became uncharacteristically furious. He dragged Shi Ji out of the bedroom and threw him into an ice pool.

    Sheng Yi was startled and moved over to take a peek.

    Sheng Tiancheng pulled Shi Ji up hard: "Why don't you take a good look at him! How could you not notice such a big thing?!"

    Sheng Tiancheng asked sharply: "Who asked you to be lazy? Why don't you stay with him all the time?!"

    "I passed out," Shi Ji said, "and then I got sick..."

    Sheng Tiancheng couldn't listen to Shi Ji's explanation at all, so he threw Shi Ji to the ground, his face was extremely dark, and he was pacing back and forth nervously.

    It was the first time Sheng Yi saw Father Sheng so angry.

    He had always been afraid of Father Sheng. He couldn't figure out what happened and didn't dare to ask.

    Sheng Yi was afraid of being caught and scolded, so he tiptoed back to the room before he was discovered.

    ...That was the last time Sheng Yi saw Sheng Tiancheng.

    Soon after, the military reported that Sheng Tiancheng encountered a large-scale insect swarm during a routine mission and crashed into the depths of the insect swarm together with the mecha.

    The mecha crashed into the depths of the insect wave, and only the scarred wingmen and observers came back.

    Sheng Yi hated Shi Ji from then on. In his heart, he always felt that Shi Ji must have deliberately retaliated on the battlefield because his father's punishment was too harsh that day, causing Sheng's father to crash into the insect wave.

    Sheng Yi held his head and trembled.

    The pain was so intense that his eyes turned white one after another, and he couldn't make any sound. He could only curl up on the ground in embarrassment, breathing heavily from exhaustion.

    Shi Ji cast his gaze over and was stopped by the deputy in charge of assisting him: "Instructor Shi, it's okay, don't worry about it."

    The deputy had just come out of the office not long ago and still remembered Dean Nie's attitude.

    He didn't dare to let Sheng Yi pester Shi Ji anymore and blocked Sheng Yi from rolling in the mud: "I can't bear the pain. There are many people who pretend to be sick, pretend to be unconscious, cheat and cheat, and this is not the first one."

    This is true.

    Not everyone can tolerate the devilish training of the special operations team. Although it has just begun, there are already several students who cannot stand this way of challenging the limits of the human body and have found excuses to withdraw from the training.

    The deputy has been keeping an eye on the training ground, and this is not the first time he has seen someone pretending to be sick.

    It’s just that the first few pretended to have sprained their feet, injured their legs, or were just acclimated and had diarrhea. The one who complained of a headache was the first one I saw.

    "I didn't..." Sheng Yi struggled to defend, "It's true, there really is something in my mind -"

    The deputy was confused: "You should always find a normal excuse, right?"

    "If you don't want to train, just say so and quit. Now just pack your things and go back."

    The deputy really couldn't figure out what was going on with this student: "You were just trying to get in, and someone took care of you before you came in. It's normal that you're not as strong as others. There's no need to insist on this tone."

    Sheng Yi: "..."

    He was so angry that he wanted to grab the deputy and beat him severely, but his hands and feet had no strength at all and he couldn't stand up.

    His headache became worse, his ears were ringing, and white spots appeared in front of his eyes.

    The deputy had dealt with this kind of students a lot, so he was not surprised and reached out to Sheng Yi: "Okay, okay, don't make trouble. Get up and train if you don't want to give up. Don't waste the instructor's time here..."

    Halfway through his words, the deputy's wrist was suddenly tightly clasped and turned backwards.

    The deputy was shocked and in pain: "Let go! Why are you like this-"

    Sheng Yi gritted his teeth, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was breathing heavily.

    The deputy was in terrible pain and was about to raise his voice to call for help when Shi Ji had already walked over.

    Sheng Yi avoided Shi Ji's sight in embarrassment.

    No one in training spoke, but he had already heard the voices from the gazes cast towards him.

    ——What's going on? Aren't you quite powerful?

    ——My arms and legs are all fine, and I can still fight with others. Are you just pretending?

    ——What’s the big deal? If you can’t keep up, don’t show off and just cause trouble for others...

    Sheng Yi once said these words to Shi Ji without any scruples when Shi Ji couldn't keep up with the intensity of his training due to his physical condition.

    He never imagined how Shi Ji would feel after hearing these words.

    In Sheng Yi's eyes, trash does not deserve any dignity at all.

    Shi Ji squatted down in front of him.

    "Instructor Shi!" the deputy called for help urgently, "Look at him——"

    Shi Ji looked at the number plate on Sheng Yi: "No. 25, let go."

    Sheng Yi shuddered.

    ... Even in the abandoned factory, when Shi Ji taught him a lesson for the first time, his tone was still gentle and serious.

    Now Shi Ji seems to be a completely different person.

    "You also think I'm faking it?" Sheng Yi shook off the deputy and asked him in a hissing voice, "You clearly know how much it hurts! You clearly -"

    He met Shi Ji's gaze, but suddenly stopped involuntarily, unable to say another word.

    "I am your instructor now." Yu Tang said, "You are a trainee, just like everyone else."

    Instructors on the training ground and commanders on the battlefield are the most taboo with personal feelings.

    If you treat them specially because they were old acquaintances, it will only make the entire team distracted and lose their combat effectiveness.

    "Your shoulder was dislocated before, and it shouldn't have recovered yet."

    Yu Tang asked: "How did you pass the training physical examination?"

    Sheng Yi was speechless.

    He probably knew that he was being taken care of, and his face felt a little warm: "I——"

    Yu Tang: "I will make a report and ask you to withdraw from training."

    Sheng Yi's expression changed instantly: "Why?!"

    He struggled to stand up, but fell back with weak hands and feet, almost hysterical: "I can still train! You can't deprive me of my training qualifications, I have been approved to train! I was not good to you at the beginning, and I know nowWrong, you can't take revenge for personal gain..."

    No one needs to tell him, Sheng Yi himself knows that this devil training is his last chance.

    Being kicked out at this time, the distance between him and Ye Hanfeng and others will only become wider and wider.

    "There is no personal gain." Yu Tang said, "I have said that if your shoulder joint is not rested, the ligaments will be damaged. Once you form a habit of dislocation, the consequences will be very serious."

    Sheng Yi didn't care about this at all, "This is my own business! You don't need to worry about it -"

    He couldn't control himself, and as soon as he said the words, he regretted them.

    Yu Tang glanced at him and stood up.

    It doesn't matter what Sheng Yi says.

    Shi Ji was assigned an emergency task by senior Zhan, and was taken by the system to do odd jobs in the mall, making physical recovery cards for Nie Chi and Zhuang Yu. He was so busy that he had no time to raise his head.

    This body was now his responsibility, and Shi Ji couldn't hear or need to listen to the bastard words of this immature reptilian shelled baby of the phylum Chordata.

    Yu Tang knocked in the sea of consciousness: "Senior Zhan, Senior Zhan."

    "...here." Zhan Chen was still surprised at the new way of bypassing the blocking words. He couldn't hold back his smile and coughed lightly, "What's the matter?"

    Yu Tang: "Of the thousand three-second hypnosis cards I had stored up before, there should be more than nine hundred left."

    Yu Tang: "Put on all the hypnotic buffs related to ligament injury and habitual dislocation. Thirty of them every day, let him experience it."

    Zhan Chen asked: "Don't let him really dislocate?"

    Yu Tang made a clear distinction: "He can do whatever he wants with the injuries he made himself, but the injuries caused by Shi Ji cannot."

    Shi Ji took off Sheng Yi's shoulders in the first place so that Sheng Yi would not go to the battlefield and cause trouble and drag down other comrades.

    Even if Sheng Yi breaks all the ligaments in his body, Yu Tang will make sure that his shoulder is fine.

    No matter how many times such people are educated, they can never change their inherent nature of shirking responsibility.Now Sheng Yi is shouting that it has nothing to do with Shi Ji. If he really disobeys the advice and trains like crazy, and there is a problem with the shoulder that was removed, Shi Ji will definitely be blamed again.

    Yu Tang would not give him such a chance.

    Even if there is any relationship between the Sheng family and his son, Shi Ji should never dream of getting involved.

    There was a smile in Zhan Chen's eyes, he nodded, and gave a simple reply.

    Yu Tang glanced at Sheng Yi, turned around and left.

    "Stop!" Sheng Yi endured the severe pain, got up on his hands and feet, and hurriedly chased after him, "My training qualifications——"

    The person he stopped said calmly: "Okay, I won't care about you anymore."

    Sheng Yi breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Shi Ji's calm expression, he felt some unreasonable uneasiness in his heart.

    ...This is the first time Shi Ji has said such words.

    Sheng Yi now understood the inexplicable "program" that Shi Ji mentioned. He clearly received the warning in the severe pain, and his chest was still filled with lingering fear.

    Sheng Yi gritted his teeth and forcibly softened his tone: "You - you know what's going on with me, right?"

    Sheng Yi hadn't yet figured out why he had been implanted with some damn program. He was instinctively uneasy. Seeing Shi Ji standing in front of him now, he thought it was no big deal.

    Shi Ji has been here peacefully for all these years, hasn't he?

    Maybe this kind of procedure can also improve your strength. Although it will be difficult to endure when the attack occurs, it will be fine once the pain passes. Otherwise, how could Shi Ji be so powerful suddenly...

    "I know." Yu Tang said.

    Sheng Yi asked: "What's going on?"

    Yu Tang raised his head and glanced at him.

    It was the first time Sheng Yi knew that Shi Ji had this look in his eyes.

    Calm, cold and clear, like some kind of ray that scanned his whole body, or like a scalpel filled with cold air.

    "This is your first attack." Yu Tang said, "The warning has ended, the official warning——"

    Sheng Yi's expression suddenly changed: "What formal warning?"

    He shook involuntarily as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his head, and a chill of fear crawled up his back like a gangrene in his bones.

    "Isn't it over already?!" Sheng Yi asked anxiously, "I've made it through. Once I make it through, everything will be fine -"

    He couldn't ask further.

    This time, Sheng Yi fell to the ground before he even had time to cry out in pain.

    The pain no longer seems to be the most important thing.

    The intense hollow feeling that was gradually annihilating and dissociated and uncontrollable was like a huge fist, slowly crushing him into pieces.

    A strong chill penetrated the seams of his bones and followed his blood, covering him tightly like a net.

    Sheng Yi gasped for breath. For the first time, he felt fatal fear. His throat was so congested that he couldn't pronounce even half a syllable.

    He seemed to be being cut into pieces.

    This was what Shi Ji really felt when he was hit by his mecha and rolled out of the control cabin when he was sparring with him.

    The deputy was startled by the movement here. He ran over and asked hesitantly: "Instructor Shi..."

    "Send him back to the dormitory." Yu Tang said.

    "Yes." The deputy responded quickly. He did not dare to touch Sheng Yi again and called two people to lift Sheng Yi up.

    Yu Tang did not stay any longer, handed over the remaining training plan to his deputy, and left the training ground.

    In the next few days, Yu Tang gave Nie Chi the devil's special training and concentrated on analyzing the program implanted by Sheng Yi.

    In order to better control the implanted person, this program is designed with a simple storage and recording function.Although reverse analysis requires some effort, a lot of useful information can be obtained as long as you understand the rules of the code.

    Especially Sheng Yi, a precious blank sample that has not been triggered since the implantation and is almost the same as the new one.

    "This paragraph is pre-implantation information."

    Yu Tang sat at Zhuang Yu's desk and pulled up a piece of data on the screen: "There is a message for Sheng Tiancheng on it. It is a scheduled projection mode."

    When the military urgently stopped the experiment on androids and sealed the laboratory, Shi Ji was the only experimental subject still alive.

    Sheng Tiancheng led people to seal down the laboratory. He not only saw the experimental subjects in the sleeping cabin, but also saw the complete experimental records.

    Shi Ji's true identity is clearly written on the record.

    The conservatives decided to take the risk and continue with this plan - turning people into AI, turning the once most gifted observers into a set of programs that will not resist or question, but will only obey orders.

    The procedure is replicable, and once the plan is successful, the spotter hand becomes unnecessary.

    They can restore the former glory of mechas as kings and infinitely increase the combat power of mechas. As long as there is no large-scale Zerg invasion within twenty to thirty years, they can expel those reformists from the center of power and completely weaken their wingmen into mechas.A's accessory.

    Under the strict blockade of the conservatives, neither Zhuang Yu nor the old captain of the special team could get any news.

    No one would have thought that an experimental subject in the android laboratory could have anything to do with the missing special forces team.Sheng Tiancheng destroyed the experimental record, took the initiative to ask for help, and successfully brought this once extremely talented observer to his home.

    He felt that he had taken advantage of it and was complacent for a long time.

    "But he didn't expect," Pu Ying said, "that the conservatives didn't fully trust him."

    These politicians cooperate with each other and are suspicious of each other. It is impossible to entrust such an important and dangerous plan to one person.

    They must have something in their hands that can threaten Sheng Tiancheng.

    Yu Tang nodded: "For them, the best result is that after the success of this plan, the Sheng family father and son can also be solved."

    Sheng Yi became the most suitable entry point.

    Sheng Tiancheng knew that there was a conspiracy in his son's mecha, and when he discovered that Sheng Yi had been implanted with a program, it was already too late.

    When he came back from the military headquarters, he couldn't control his emotions. He was so angry that he violently tortured Shi Ji, but in the end he had to agree to the arrangements of those people.

    He faked his death in the insect wave, forcing Shi Ji to join him as an observer and entering the insect wave, turning Shi Ji into an AI.

    If Zhan Chen hadn't forcibly intervened, this plan might have been successful at that time.

    ——Even if Shi Ji survived, the conservatives still gained a lot from this fake "sacrifice".

    The conservatives portrayed Sheng Tiancheng as a hero who stood alone against the insect infestation. They won a lot of votes in the key election of members of that session, and strongly suppressed the reformists who had hoped to govern.

    After that, the conservatives took advantage of this mission accident and repeatedly emphasized that the existing mechas were not strong enough to withstand a large-scale insect influx.69% of the alliance’s military spending.

    Sheng Yi became the orphan of the hero and received a large amount of compensation resources from the military.

    He will be portrayed as the number one mecha operator in the entire alliance, as a "vase" used for show, and as the best-controlled chess piece in the hands of the conservatives.

    With such a vase, a new wave of mecha craze will arise throughout the alliance.

    "There are no vases, and the mechas are also crazy."

    Dean Nie rubbed his forehead vigorously: "As soon as the news of the reform was released, many mecha trainees in military academies protested, and some active-duty troops also began to have rumors... There was a lot of resistance."

    "They believe that the combat effectiveness of mechas is accumulated through extensive training, and it is impossible to communicate with other majors."

    Dean Nie has been quarreling with these people all day long. Recently, apart from beating his son every day, nothing goes smoothly: "Nie Chi said, this kind of idea has been coming up a lot in the training camp recently, and you should also pay attention to the psychology of the students."

    Zhuang Yu stood by the window and suddenly said: "Don't pay attention, there's already a commotion."

    Dean Nie frowned, stood up and walked quickly to the window.

    After Nie Chi took over the position of instructor, the devil training became a real devil. The pressure on the students increased sharply, and their rebellious psychology continued to accumulate.

    Every year during training, it is inevitable that students will cause trouble several times. This time, it was probably someone who deliberately instigated it, but it got mixed up with the wave of resistance to reform.

    Those who caused trouble were all mecha operators. They were unconvinced and felt that Nie Chi could win against them because Nie Chi had received comprehensive training related to mechas.

    More and more people are resisting the training. Sui Qi and Wu Ming tried hard to calm the situation, but were isolated by the students to the other side.

    Dean Nie frowned: "Shall I go talk?"

    "No need." Zhuang Yu said, "Shi Ji."

    In the sea of consciousness, Shi Ji, who was sitting on the pony and diligently making up for classes, subconsciously stood up and stood upright.

    Yu Tang stuffed him back without leaving any trace.

    Zhuang Yu: "Go and deal with it, I'll give you ten minutes."

    Shi Ji said yes and ran out of the office, then hesitantly stopped: "Mr. Yu——"

    Yu Tang smiled: "You handle it yourself this time."

    Zhuang Yu wanted to give Shi Ji such an opportunity to exercise, and Yu Tang also had this plan.

    This is a hurdle that Shi Ji must overcome. The problem does not necessarily need to be solved within ten minutes, but it must be able to make a statement within ten minutes.

    To become a commander, Shi Ji must overcome his too mild attitude and have a clear enough stand.

    Shi Ji pursed his lips and nodded silently.

    Yu Tang reminded: "Don't fight with others one by one, it's a waste of time."

    Shi Ji: "Yes."

    Yu Tang moved his wrist.

    He wasn't going to make things too difficult for little S7. Once Shi Ji firmed up his position, he would make a complete, comprehensive and well-illustrated popular science about mecha combat.

    If reasoning doesn't work, Yu Tang is also planning to build another holographic insect tide simulation system to allow these mecha operators to sober up.

    The relevant information has been almost prepared for a long time. These should have been put on the agenda, but I didn't expect that an unexpected situation happened to happen.

    Yu Tang was about to order some coffee and went to Zhan Chen with his mug: "Senior Zhan——"

    Zhan Chen nodded, picked him up and put him on the swing.

    Yu Tang: "?"

    Out of consciousness, Shi Ji stopped Wu Ming, who was trying to argue, and asked in a warm voice: "Can I borrow your mecha?"

    Wu Ming was stunned for a moment: "Can... we want to dismantle it again?"

    Shi Ji shook his head.

    He took Wu Ming's mecha control panel, walked to the crowd, held up one hand, and jumped onto the standard training mecha.

    This kind of mecha is uniformly issued by the military. It has very ordinary configurations, almost no powerful weapons, and its propulsion horsepower and defense capabilities are only mediocre.

    In active military units, this kind of mecha is almost everywhere.

    Shi Ji: "I am not a mecha operator, nor have I received professional training. I only tried it once more than two years ago."

    His voice was low, but the noisy protesting crowd vaguely understood what he meant, and gradually became quieter from nearer to farther away.

    Wu Ming's eyes widened. He only knew that Shi Ji was good at flying wingmen, and he was a little worried: "Commander Shi——"

    Shi Ji looked at the time.

    He is also working hard to learn Mr. Yu's methods these days. Yu Tang's methods are thorough and comprehensive and can solve the problem at once without any rebound.

    But the captain only gave him ten minutes.

    For ten minutes, you really can't fight with people one by one.

    "I only have ten minutes."

    Shi Ji: "You guys come together, it can go faster."

      Xiao Ji: Peace never were an answer.

    Note
