Chapter 249 Marching (6)

In the 65th year of the new emperor's calendar, the capital of Aslan, the White Emerald Palace.

The crimson veil was half-covered, revealing the woman's graceful legs. The emperor sat on the throne deep in the palace, slaughtering thieves with a long knife across his knees.

Lin Ge's fingers caressed the scabbard, but he looked out the window leisurely, thinking about the report about Yu Thief a few days ago.

... This blood knife that contains hatred and sin may not last forever in the world.

Jiang Jianming should be very relieved if the problem of Yu Thief can be completely solved. Even if the memory of the past life returned, with that person's nature, she should have hoped that she would let go of her obsession.

So the emperor was trapped in his memories again, and he suddenly remembered the moment when Sylph called from the Black Shark base and told her, "Your Majesty sent the spiritual consciousness of the commander."

That feeling of trembling all over her body will probably be hard to forget in her life.

"You said Jiang is still alive and in the crystal nest!?"

She even remembered that there was a cool wind that night, blowing something that kept clinking. He hid in the depths of the palace to communicate, and suddenly raised his voice and lowered his voice: "Don't make fun of me, isn't he sleeping, not to mention that his physical condition was already... in a place like Crystal Nest... He really Still alive!?"

The black-clothed leader on the opposite side was standing in front of a big machine, and the old god said in an electronic voice on the ground: "Yes, but the current situation is a bit complicated and it is difficult to explain."

"Inferring from the deciphered consciousness information, I think His Majesty Kaios in the crystal state ate the commander into his body to protect him from external crystal particles."

Lin Ge was stunned, "Eat...!?"

"Don't show that kind of expression, haven't you seen it before? Because the commander-in-chief and His Majesty have been united all the year round... um, don't think about it, it's a literal union..."

"Isn't the literal union of oneness the same as oneness!?"

Lin Ge was furious: "Fuck Kaios! He's shameless, he can talk to a sleeping patient!?"

leader:"."

So it doesn't mean that...

"Forget it, put aside the matter of whether it is integrated or not."

The leader had no choice but to break the jar and smash: "You can't understand the theory with Your Majesty. In short, Kaios asked to do the projection of the commander first, and we matched the matrix."

"It matches!?"

"Unfortunately, the technology at this stage can only start from the embryo, which can only carry personality and part of the subconscious, but cannot carry memory."

Lin Ge said anxiously, "That's all trivial matters, I'm asking if you are a match!"

Sylph: "Yes. The matching embryos are crippled humans."

Lin Ge: "...Really?"

——To this day, Lin Ge still clearly remembers her contradictory psychology at that time: it was like a big rock in her heart fell, but it was covered with a cloud.

Oh, crippled human being, she subconsciously thought almost despicably, then there can be a legitimate reason to keep him away from the war, this is impossible, it is God's will, right?

This year's disabled people should have had a much better life than the era when Jiang Jianming was born, right?

At least the year before last passed a new amendment to the law that prohibits new humans from releasing crystal bones in public...

Then give him back his real name, give him a healthy body that can taste the sweetness of apples and the fragrance of roses, find a guardian who will not get sick and beat children, and give him a warm and stable family.

He likes reading books so much, he once said that he regretted not getting in touch with mecha earlier. He likes the vast starry sky and the history of the past and the present.

Now can give it to him, she is the emperor, Sylph is the leader of the base, this time can finally...

She talked to Sylph for an hour that night about how to screen the guardian of that precious matrix.

Until the leader was forced intolerable: "Your Majesty! Don't you think that your requirements are a little too high?"

But before hanging up, Sylph still said: "...I will pay attention."

That was more than twenty years ago.

At the beginning of this year, the leader told her that the base body plan was about to be completed, and all the memories of the original body could be sent to the base body's brain.

By the time……

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty?"

The voice brought the emperor's thoughts back to the cage. In the blink of an eye, a black cane appeared on the floor in front of the field of vision.

The old man in a tall and straight military uniform had already stood below at some point, rubbing his chest and saluting.

"Your Majesty's forgiveness, the military situation is urgent, and I have come in by myself."

Lin Ge immediately restrained her face, and she put the slaughtering thief aside: "What's the matter? The remnants of the Crystal Sect have been found, or is there news of the disconnected expeditionary army?"

Old Marshal Chen's face was unusually heavy, "No... not at all."

"The urgent report comes from Omega Outer Planet, the third fortress."

boom……

Another mecha smashed into the ground of the crystal nest with billowing smoke.

On the vast crystal surface, the wreckage of starships, mechas and drones has been piled up. The light disappears now and then in the distance, and finally returns to nothingness.

Countless bizarre crystalline beings roam their lair, repeating cycles of disintegration and reorganization.

It is difficult to describe this life form so different from humans in words.

The aggregate of crystal particles, like the crystal nest, is colorless and transparent, has no fixed shape, and changes in all appearances - whether it is piercing sharp edges and corners, or turning into a thick shield, it is to better counterattack this. Group of colonized people, humans.

"Cough, blah blah..."

Two figures in combat uniforms supported each other and stood up. Above the head is the dark universe, looking around, there are no Imperial soldiers around.

The chestnut-haired prosthetic female soldier spat out blood, wiped the blood from her forehead again, and said with difficulty, "Sorry, Tang Zhen, the mecha doesn't seem to be able to open."

"Nonsense, I'm not blind yet, I can see it!"

Tang Zhen's face turned pale, he staggered forward, showed his crystal bones, and stood back to back with Beimaner.

Transparent crystal thorns are slowly emerging from around the two of them.

"Fuck, it's been a month, a month," Tang Zhen scolded in a low voice, "It's been a month of tossing with these ghosts and it's not over yet!"

The next moment, the crystal bones of the two of them skyrocketed at the same time, and they fought against the "ghost thing" in front of them!

When the reddish-brown crystal bone collided with the colorless crystal thorn, Tang Zhen's facial features were twisted, and a chaotic force came along the crystal bone, causing severe pain all over his body.

"Uh!"

Buzzing in his head, countless negative emotions flooded in like a tide, disturbing his spirit.

The crystal particles in the body... are being affected...

Even though they have been fighting in Crystal Nest for more than a month, it is still difficult for Yin Beidou soldiers to overcome this pressure.

It is a pity that the enemy will not be merciful. The thrilling battle is taking place in every corner of the crystal nest, and every day is more difficult than yesterday.

Inside the flagship of the Silver Hokuto Fleet, Hara Nagasawa gritted his teeth and watched the fierce battle outside the porthole, holding a gun in his hand.

"Don't be impulsive, little boy!"

Larry grabbed Yuan Nagasawa's arm in panic, trembling all over, "In case that mental awareness projection technique is not reliable, you will be finished with one shot!"

"Let go." Yuan Nagasawa whispered, "The situation is much more serious than expected. The expeditionary force needs to ask for help. My death can bring my memory back to the Black Shark Base... As long as His Highness or Major General agrees..."

A bloody palm stretched out and held down the dark muzzle.

"Calm down, kid."

I don't know when, Xie Yuduo's mecha stopped behind. The major general had already fought for a round, his right arm was covered in blood, panting violently: "It's not time yet, I don't agree."

"...But!" Yuan Nagasawa said in a trembling voice, "So many people have died."

"War will kill people." Xie Yuduo said, "Steady, Yin Beidou is not as useless as you think, hold on for a while, and the large troops are sure to withdraw from the crystal nest."

Larry breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly pressed down the original Nagasawa's gun.

But at this moment, the communication of the back mecha Tianshu sounded - Xie Yuduo had just returned to the ship, and the military channel was still hanging in the mecha.

"Report Major General, we have detected foreign objects approaching the crystal nest, please instruct!"

Xie Yuduo: "Foreign object!?"

The opposite said: "It seems to be... a mecha. Yes, it has been confirmed, it is a mecha!"

Outside the starship, the soldiers who were fighting in the air or on the surface of the crystal nest became restless.

They were the first to perceive that the frequency of the surrounding crystal particles had changed.

Someone shouted: "Look!"

Tang Zhen and Beimaner had just ended their battle, and Yin Beidou's mecha formation also found them. When the two of them were about to evacuate with the large army, they raised their heads and looked upwards.

I saw a tiny black spot on the ceiling.

A mecha slowly approached from a distance. The cockpit was open, and a man in white was sitting there.

Beiman'er took a closer look and said in amazement, "Gaius...!?"

Tang Zhen's nose was sweaty, and his face was ugly: "It's him? Why is he alone?"

The archbishop of the Crystal Cult, the anti-human race traitor, the mastermind behind all the turmoil so far!

A touch of dark gold suddenly rose up and appeared above the crystal nest.

It is the crown of L-Jin Xiao of the crown prince!

No matter what the purpose of the Archbishop's strangely alone came to Crystal Nest, Ryan was not afraid and went up to him. The super S-class mecha muzzle gathers energy and blows people down!

Gaius just glanced at him lightly, and there was a strange fanatical smile on his gentle face. He stretched his arms and leaned back like a puppet—

It fell straight from the mecha!

The next moment, the ground of the crystal nest was like an awakened living creature, and crystals several thousand meters high rose from the ground, and even the sky above the sky was obscured.

"!?"

Le'an's expression changed, and Jin Xiaozhi's crown swirled violently, narrowly avoiding the crystal like a monstrous wave.

Looking back, saw that the surface below was deeply sunken as if it had been drained. The soaring white crystal turned into a huge piranha that opened, and suddenly wrapped the falling Gaius——

From head to toe, swallowed it whole! !

"Fuck!?" Tang Zhen's face turned blue.

"Swallow, swallow!"

Inside the starship, the original Nagasawa stumblingly pointed out.

Xie Yudiao was stunned: "Could it be that swallowing people is a racial hobby of crystal particles??"

In the next second, a large piece of crystal smashed back to the surface, wrapped around Gaius in the "belly" as if suffocated, and went somewhere unknown.

Ryan's face suddenly became cold, and he raised his hand and swept up a real crystal, trying to blast the crystal that wrapped Gaius out of the ground.

But the thing moved so fast that the crown prince flew all the way to the broken crystal but failed to catch it, and soon he could not even see the shadow.

If a human voluntarily joins the crystal nest, it is still unclear what the consequences will be.

Xie Yuduo put his hand on the shoulder of the original Nagasawa.

Yuan Nagasawa: "?"

Xie Yuduo was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly turned back and smiled with difficulty: "Ha, I'm sorry, Young Master Yuan, in this situation, you probably still have to be mentally prepared to die?"

It is night, and the crystal nest is deeper.

The black-haired crippled human is wrapped in the center of a transparent and colorless crystal cluster. His handsome brows were furrowed, his eyelashes were trembling, and he seemed to be in great pain even in his drowsiness.

The crystals in all directions became anxious, and even faintly stained with a few traces of red gold luster.

They, or "it", climbed up on the fragile human body, clinging tightly to him, engulfing him, trying to give him some comfort.

Suddenly, the disabled human lips moved. He tilted his head weakly and made a muffled voice: "...Lai...Ryan..."

"It"'s movement suddenly stopped.

A few seconds later, "it" softly drooped down a crystal bone, and caressed the cheek of the crippled human being with nostalgia.

"what!!!"

There was a scream, accompanied by the sound of rushing water.

In the depths of the dim laboratory, the lights flickered on and off, and several researchers from the Black Shark Base huddled in the corner, staring in horror at the figure that burst into the dormant bin.

——It was a man in his mid-thirties who was lying on the lid of the dormant compartment that was popped up, gasping for breath.

"Huh, huh..."

He squinted and panted heavily, the shadows overlapped in his field of vision, and he could vaguely see the scientific researchers hula-la around and talking about something.

"It's Chang Ze! 002 woke up!"

"The 002 base body has been confirmed dead, and the original body is awakened!"

Chang Ze... Who is Chang Ze?

Memories collided frantically in the man's mind, and the sound of gunshots being fired at one moment turned into the muffled sound of knocking open the dormant warehouse door the next.

Chang Ze covered his temples and moaned.

Yes, it's me, I'm Chang Ze, an experimenter at the Black Shark Base, and I'm also Matrix 002, a well-known crystalless young master in Glorious Star City, Nagasawa...!

I just died, I died in the crystal nest, because-

Suddenly, the man suddenly raised his face and shouted hoarsely: "I ask for help!!"

"Leader... Where is the leader, please let me see the leader!"

Chang Ze's voice was hoarse because he had not used it for too long, and the word order was also panicked. He gestured with his hands in a mess, "It's Yin Beidou, the expedition of Yin Beidou is trapped in Crystal Nest..."

"Yes, sorry..."

Suddenly, a timid female voice sounded.

Diana huddled in the corner, looking at Chang Ze, or the former Nagasawa, who was in full charge of her body.

rumbling...

Chang Ze was stunned for a moment. The sound of artillery shelling was clearly heard in the distance, and the laboratory was shaking.

"That is to say, that, if you woke up five days ago, we could still help you, but now..."

Diana smiled dryly with a pale face: "Omega Alien was attacked by the enemy. Just five hours ago, the Black Shark Base and the third fortress were disconnected."

"So, we may be a little bit, we can't protect ourselves...?"

...

At the same moment, another corner of the Black Shark base.

The crystal particles are different, the alien creatures are rioting, and this place has become a battlefield.

The ceiling was broken, the wind whimpered and poured into it, and the smell of blood and potions was everywhere.

"Don't come here...don't come here!!"

The experimenter stretched his arms desperately, condensing crystal bones. In front of an automatic door.

There was a low roar of the alien creature in front of him. The head was covered with sarcomas and crystal blocks, and there were three eyeballs. can't tell what species it was originally, and can only smell the stench coming from face.

The experimenter was short of breath, his face was covered in fine sweat, and his legs were shaking with fear in the shadow of death: "Don't, don't..."

But the arms were still firmly blocking the door, motionless.

What's behind the door?

Behind the door is the most important core room of the base, the archive backup library. Most importantly, there is a special dormant chamber in the deepest part.

When the alien creature swooped down, the experimenter's mind was: It doesn't matter if I die.

But don't smash the door, don't break into it, the one in the dormant warehouse must not have any damage.

Otherwise, he would be ashamed of the leader and the empire when he died, and he would have to die...

Lightning bolts, life and death thoughts.

In an instant, the automatic door behind him suddenly opened. A force suddenly grabbed his back neckline and pulled him aside!

boom! The two of them rolled on the ground together, and the claws of the alien creature narrowly brushed past their heads.

The experimenter screamed and closed his eyes, followed by four shots!

- bang bang bang bang! !

There was no sound for a long time.

When the experimenter opened his eyes tremblingly again, he saw the corpse of the alien creature that had been penetrated, and the blood was still spraying out from the hole shot by the bullet.

The life-saving hand slowly released him.

The experimenter was struck by lightning.

He looked stiffly sideways, and the first thing he saw was an arm holding a gun.

Straight, steady, with bulging knuckles beneath pale skin.

A black-haired young man was half-kneeling beside him with a light expression. The emaciated body was only wearing a long white coat that the patient had been sleeping in. His slender arms and legs were exposed wetly, and transparent medical treatment fluid kept dripping from his black hair.

"Is this the Black Shark base?"

Jiang Jianming looked ahead vigilantly, and said in a hoarse voice word by word, "Report the status quo."
