Time rewinds to a moment ago.

"No way, Miss Diana, we have never done matrix matching for Patriarch Lance, where can we find a body that carries consciousness all of a sudden?"

"Although the Matrix Project can now carry the projected memory of the original body, it is too late to start matching for the head of the Lance family."

Diana said firmly, "I'll make the matrix."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the depths of the substrate cultivation room.

"I once signed a document." Diana took a deep breath, took out her wrist phone, and called up an electronic scan.

She walked through the group of researchers at the Black Shark Base, and showed everyone the image popped up on the wrist phone: "Same as Chang Ze's share, the leader allows me to use my own body to conduct experiments under extreme circumstances."

"Actually, I have studied the technology of spiritual consciousness projection before entering the base. The success of the spiritual consciousness projection is only limited by the fit with the carrier matrix. The battle to recapture the first fortress that took place in the Alpha Yu RegionIt also proved that."

"We know that the intelligence of alien creatures comes from Crystal Cult, so everyone can think about it: even human consciousness can be projected on alien creatures, so can't human consciousness be projected on another living person?Is it okay to come out of the matrix?"

"No, there is no such logic at all."

"The reason why the matrix is made is to avoid ethical and moral contradictions. After all, we can't just project soldiers onto other people, so the base spares no expense in cultivating new inanimate bodies."

"And my brother and I are biological sisters. I have tested that the frequency of consciousness in our brains can match, and I can carry her consciousness..."

Suddenly, a female researcher stood up and cut off Diana's words with an angry face: "You have wanted to do this for a long time, Miss Lance!"

"I know that you have been begging the leader to let your brother do the projection, because the leader won't let go, you have other thoughts!"

"—That's right!"

Unexpectedly, Diana raised her white chin, raised her voice and shouted back, "So what, is it a sin to be a little selfish!?"

"I always wanted to save my brother from the bottom of my heart, and now I want to protect this base from the bottom of my heart! Although I had the idea of living projection, I never thought of hurting others. It just happened that my brother and I were matched!"

Rarely did she speak with such a high voice and sharp expression.But at this moment, there is indeed a kind of edge bursting out from this delicate doll-like face.

For a while, the female researcher was also taken aback.

Diana flicked her short silver hair, stretched out her hand, and neatly turned on the main control machine for consciousness projection.

She is no longer a crying little lady, nor a stuttering little rabbit, "That's my brother, my last relative in this world, how could I give up!?"

"Besides! I woke up my brother to ask her to risk her help."

She stared, and simply stopped calling her code name, "In this situation, if something happens to His Majesty and the Commander, can you bear it?"

Chang Ze quickly stopped in the middle: "Miss Diana, don't be impulsive."

He panicked and said: "You have to think clearly, if you fail, at most it's because you can't connect to the projection, but if you succeed... Once your brother's consciousness swallows you and completely occupies your body..."

"Diana Lance will be wiped out!"

"Will not."

Diana said firmly: "My brother will never hurt me, that's the only thing I can be sure of!"

The final result proved that none of those frightening conjectures happened.

The consciousness of the Lance sisters successfully coexisted in Diana Lance's body, maintaining a state similar to a split personality but not quite the same.

The dominant consciousness is still Diana.Just like at this moment, she mercilessly kicked away her sister who wanted to shake hands with Jiang, and jumped on her own, and started whining.

In fact, since she lost her "brother" and came to the Black Shark Base, Diana cried less and less.Reunited with Jiang Jianming this time, it can be regarded as letting go and crying a lot.

Next to him, the experimenter who came with Jiang Jianming was stunned. He didn't dare to persuade him, and he didn't dare to ask...

In the end, Jiang Jianming had no choice but to touch her hair and said, "Don't cry, if you cry again, you will collapse. How can Audrey use your body to fight?"

Only then did Diana stop her tears, and finally hiccupped pitifully, rubbing her tears on Jiang Jianming's shoulder, and said softly, "Then I'm leaving, brother will protect you."

Jiang Jianming: "..."

This child, I'm afraid he didn't realize that he has more memories of his previous life.

In the blink of an eye, Diana closed her eyes and opened them again, and immediately changed her demeanor.

The originally soft voice became cold and clear, with a hint of helplessness, "...Sorry, Jiang, Diana has caused you trouble again."

When Audrey returned, Jiang Jianming also heaved a sigh of relief.Now that we can communicate about the business, he asked, "How is the situation in Area A? Are there any wounded? Can the wrist machine in your hand work?"

"A district is fine, we are mainly worried about C district."

Audrey wiped away the tears on her face, and took off her wrist phone and gave it to him, "By the way, Diana asked me to tell you that Hara Nagasawa's consciousness projection has returned, bringing news of the expeditionary force, youAsk him directly."

Expedition.Jiang Jianming's eyes flickered for a moment, but he still couldn't help asking: "His Royal Highness..."

Audrey: "According to Diana's memory, she should also be in the expeditionary force."

Jiang Jianming shook his head and didn't ask any more questions.They greeted the burdenen experimenter, and walked through the corpse of the alien creature.

At the end of the corridor is the base's omnic control room.Jiang Jianming glanced from the glass rear window: "There should be no alien creatures inside, go in and rest for ten minutes."

The experimenter straightened his back with a "snap" and said loudly, "No! Your Excellency, Commander, I can still hold on!"

"..."

Jiang Jianming glanced at him lightly: "It's not your problem... Don't look at me like this, I'm still a disabled human being."

When he said these words lightly, the expressions of the two people beside him changed visibly.

The experimenter blushed, stuttered, and was so ashamed.

And Audrey was already tugging at him anxiously: "Jiang, what's wrong with you!? By the way, you just woke up, have you been given a tranquilizer?"

Jiang Jianming: "It's okay, I don't need it for now..."

It's a pity that after the battle on Alien Alpha, no one in this empire will believe Colonel Jiang's "it's okay" or "it's okay" anymore.

As soon as the main control room was opened, Jiang Jianming was forced to rest on the only seat in front of the console.Audrey and the experimenter used the crystal bone to push the equipment inside, blocked the automatic door and the window, and then searched around for tranquilizers and drugs.

Jiang Jianming shook his head and smiled helplessly, ignoring the battered couple.He idled his right hand on the console, turned on his wrist phone and contacted Chang Ze.

Seeing him, Chang Ze, who accepted the memory of Hara Nagasawa, opened his eyes and mouth wide, and began to cry within a few seconds.

It's a pity that the young master Yuan was not as lucky as Diana. Jiang Jianming still has the consciousness of the commander in his previous life. After a few words of scolding, Chang Ze shut up and dared not cry.

The next step is to exchange information and communicate the status quo. Too many things happened in this year. Chang Ze and the surrounding members of the Black Shark base pieced together and explained the important events to Jiang Jianming.

"The lava was destroyed by the Crystal Cult?"

Jiang Jianming was slightly moved, "Where is Red Dragon?"

Chang Ze shook his head: "The follow-up should be handled by the second fortress and the military department, we don't know."

Jiang Jianming nodded: "Okay, then tell me clearly, what is Jingchao's situation now?"

"Jing Nest... the situation is not very optimistic."

Chang Ze's expression became serious, summarizing the situation as concisely as possible.Five days ago, Gaius threw himself into the crystal nest, was swallowed by crystal particles into the depths of the crystal nest, and disappeared.

Soon, Yin Beidou discovered that the attack method of the crystal particles had changed. They began to cooperate and deceive like humans, and Yin Beidou's casualties immediately increased linearly.

Whether Gaius's consciousness was swallowed by the crystal nest, Gaius controlled the crystal nest, or the two merged into one, inseparable from each other... It is still impossible to judge.

Both Crown Prince Lai An and Major General Xie felt that the current situation was unfavorable and that they could no longer fight.

However, after the power of the crystal nest increased, the Silver Beidou Fleet could no longer break through by its own strength, and finally had to use the special personnel Yuan Nagasawa to ask for help.

"I see."

Jiang Jianming hung up the communication after he had probably learned about it, just as Audrey and the experimenter had also finished searching for materials.

They simply drank some energy water.Jiang Jianming gave himself a sedative and said he could go.

The experimenter was terrified: "Don't, don't, you'd better rest for a while..."

Jiang Jianming: "We can't stay for too long, alien creatures will gather."

He motioned to the two people with crystals to remove the things blocking the door, and walked out first.

The outside is still cold and dark, and the sound of artillery fire in the distance seems to be a little more intensive. It is difficult to judge whether it is an advantage or a disadvantage.

Audrey took two steps forward: "I'll go ahead."

Jiang Jianming: "..."

You don't have to be so overprotective.

Audrey seemed to see through what he was thinking, and gave him a cold look: "Follow."

"Then don't walk too fast," Jiang Jianming blinked and smiled deliberately, "What should I do if I can't keep up physically?"

The three of them walked at the pace of disabled humans, and the sound of their footsteps echoed in the corridor of the base, along with Jiang Jianming's faint voice.

"Since Area A can still persist, there is no rush to go there."

Jiang Jianming said, "Listen to me to sort out the information first."

"A year ago, the Crystal Cult lost successive battles in the Imperial Capital and the Alpha Starfield. They must have realized that the Crystal Cult could not gnaw at the hard bone of the empire for the time being, so they adopted a temporary retreat strategy and turned their hands on the lava Space Pirates."

"The crystal chaos of a large number of space pirates has promoted the improvement of the power of the crystal nest, and the erosion of the crystal particles on alien creatures has been further enhanced."

"Now that Gaius has joined the crystal nest, the mother core of the crystal nest has acquired human intelligence, and the alien creatures eroded by the crystal particles have also been manipulated. That's why they suddenly attacked the fortress at this moment, catching Yin Beidou by surprise."

"Hmm." Audrey nodded while listening, and suddenly frowned suspiciously.

Something's wrong, if you don't go to Area A to meet up now, and don't find a place to hide and wait for the rescue from the fortress, where is Jiang going to take them?

The corridor in front of him was still dark, and Jiang Jianming was still talking nonchalantly: "I don't think alien creatures can really capture the Yinbeidou Fortress."

"Their goal should be to create temporary chaos, take the opportunity...to find the location of my matrix, and kill me."

Having said that, he paused, raised his eyebrows——

"Like now."

Suddenly, at the end of the corridor in front of him, there was an explosion!

A heat wave mingled with sparks rushed towards the face, and the clothes of the three of them were rattled.

"Be careful!"

Audrey changed color, she drew her sword and spread her arms, protecting Jiang Jianming behind her.

But then, from the other end of the corner behind the three, there was also the sound of intense shooting and explosions, as well as the crisp sound of crystal bones colliding!

The experimenter's face changed drastically, and he turned around and said in horror: "There are also behind, we are surrounded!?"

"No," Audrey calmed down. "The gunshots can't possibly belong to alien creatures, but the Yin Beidou army obviously didn't come either..." She narrowed her eyes, "Jiang?"

The black-haired officer curled his lips silently.

There seemed to be a deep vortex flowing in his raised eyes:

"But Crystal Nest, or Gaius, probably didn't expect this situation... I woke up."

boom!!

There was another explosion ahead, and a shadow rushed out at the end, which turned out to be an alien creature with several blood holes in its body.

It rushed forward a few steps and then collapsed from exhaustion. Several armed robots from the Black Shark base flew over to confirm the final death of the target.

"..."

Audrey and the experimenter were both stunned.

"This, isn't this the 'Z Sting' fighter jet from our base!?"

The experimenter exclaimed: "How could there be so many gathered here!"

The bloody smell from the front and back was getting stronger, and the heat waves from the explosions came repeatedly. The fierce battle was staged tens of meters away from them, but it did not reach the front of the three of them.

Jiang Jianming leaned against the wall unhurriedly, "Since the target is me, it's much more convenient to put the bait... The omnic system in your Black Shark base is very easy to use."

Audrey: "What did you do again?"

Jiang Jianming: "Ah, I just set up a combat program when I was in the main control room of the omnic."

Alien creatures like to play outflanking, which is the experience he gained from "dead" once in Alien Alpha.

Judging from the structural diagram of the base, this is the only place nearby that can achieve a perfect encirclement, and it is a straight road.

So as long as you set the coordinates for the omnics first, then use his bait to fish alien creatures here, and use a constant speed to control the time, you can complete a manual time bomb.

"..."

After listening, Audrey fell silent, and so did the experimenter.

Who said that you should rest in the main control room when you are tired!

Who said you have to walk slowly if you are physically weak!

Who is a weak and weak human being? It's all calculations!

How come, after the commander's memory is fused, His Highness Jiang's operation of cheating enemies and friends together is even easier!?

——Of course, if you ask the person concerned this question, Jiang Jianming will definitely answer very seriously: This is to prevent being watched or overheard by alien creatures.

But it is undeniable that this person has almost deceived the entire empire in the sum of his two lifetimes, and it is not incomprehensible that he may have developed some small evil tastes.

"So," the experimenter asked blankly, "we're wandering around the base now, are we...?"

This person's reaction was a bit slow, Jiang Jianming said quietly: "Of course we are annihilating the enemy, otherwise."

After all, Jiang Jianming walked forward, and the smell of blood became stronger after turning the corner.He stepped over the broken corpse, clicked, and raised his foot to step on the head of an alien creature that was about to die.

"Your Excellency Archbishop Gaius, I hope you can hear me."

Jiang Jianming was condescending, and said calmly: "I just came to tell you that the battle has started. If you want, please continue to try - will these alien creatures kill me first, or I will bury them in the base first."

"How, is this person outrageous?"

After a while, Audrey sat on a supercomputer with her arms folded, and said angrily and amusedly, "You guys have been stuck for five days, and now you can solve it in five hours."

She had just finished a round of fighting, and was driven back by Jiang Jianming to rest, holding the crystal bone twin swords dripping blood in her arms.

At this time, a group of researchers from the Black Shark Base also gathered, and everyone was in a mixed mood and hesitated.

"Uh……"

"yes……"

"cough……"

The main reason is that it's outrageous for you to put on Miss Diana's face like this...

Jiang Jianming happened to be back, and when he heard Audrey praise him from a distance, he laughed, "You can't say that, the enemy army has retreated."

Perhaps Jingchao also realized that this battle was doomed to fail. The alien creatures began to retreat after being bombed by him in the first wave, and then he led the members of the Black Shark base to toss several rounds with various tricks, the strength of the attack on the base is already very weak.

Then you can be distracted, Jiang Jianming walked this way, turned on the newly acquired wrist phone, and dialed the communication of the base leader.

He thought to himself: It seems that it is good to be able to resolve the current conflict before the consciousness of the original body is separated.

I thought again: don't know if it's too late, but went to see Lai An in this state.

Thinking of this, can't help being a little distracted.

As a result of being distracted, he only got connected there, and he opened his mouth and said in a clear voice: "Sylph, how is the situation in the fortress? It hasn't been resolved yet?"

Just finished speaking, I was surprised that it was wrong.Jiang Jianming cleared his throat, and immediately changed his words, "Cough, I'm sorry, leader, you didn't hear that sentence just now. I'm Jiang Jianming, are you okay?"

——Now he feels that his performance is also schizophrenic. Putting together with Miss Lance is like the one who has retreated 50 steps laughs at the one who has retreated 100 steps.

But he couldn't hear Sylph's reaction.There was a loud noise over there, as if someone rushed over to snatch the wrist phone or communicator, dropped it on the ground, and grabbed it again.

Jiang Jianming: "?" What happened on the other side.

Doubt had only time to pop up in his heart when he heard a familiar, trembling voice of a middle-aged man coming from the wrist phone.

"...Obviously?"

...

The third fortress, the outer wall.

A large mecha stood on the black stone-like alloy iron wall.It is the highest commander of the third fortress, Major General Emma's S-class mecha, L-Yaoguang.

The fierce battle of five days and four nights was coming to an end, and under the continuous resistance of Yin Beidou, the foreign enemies were being gradually forced out.

But at this moment, L-Yaoguang's cockpit was in chaos.

"Mingming, is it really Mingming!?"

Jiang Sheng held up Sylph's wrist phone, and wailed tearfully: "Obviously——! I'm dad, I'm dad!!"

Next to him, Major General Emma was also shocked. She looked at the leader and said, "His Highness Jiang has awakened!?"

The leader whispered: "It's earlier than we expected. It may be that the base body sensed its own danger and forcibly woke up; it may also be that the existence that made him sleep sensed the urgency of the situation and had to wake him up in advance."

The wrist unit flickered, a projection window popped up, and the video was turned on on the other side.

Even Jiang Jianming had a dazed and dazed look on his face at this moment.He was uncertain for a long time, and said softly: "Dad...Dad?"

"Obviously...!"

With this sound, Jiang Sheng couldn't stop crying.

In fact, as early as a year ago, he saw that after Jiang Jianming's "sacrifice", he did not make arrangements for his funeral, but was properly protected by the Black Shark Base, so he knew there was a turning point.

But knowing is knowing, emotionally are two different things.

My child suffered all kinds of hardships at a young age, and finally died alone in the snowstorm due to illness.Now lying quietly, it seems that will never open eyes.

How could he not be heartbroken, how could he not regret?

But at this moment, Jiang Sheng didn't even dare to cry loudly, for fear of frightening the child.With tears streaming down his face, he squeezed out a distorted smile, and softened his voice:

"It's clearly in the Black Shark Base, isn't it? Don't be afraid, baby, you must find a place to hide and protect yourself. Dad will go there right away!"

Opposite, Jiang Jianming was expressionless: "."

baby……

Okay, let's introduce him to ignore the pet name of baby, so what's going on here?

Jiang Jianming put down his wrist phone in a daze, then looked at Audrey beside him, thinking——

After all, he should be dead, but he is alive;

Audrey should be half dead, but she was resurrected by Diana;

And his father should have been named a martyr for six or seven years, and now he is probably rushing towards him.

Adding all this together, Jiang Jianming was even a little confused: can this kind of thing really happen, is he really alive?

Isn't this really a hell party??

The wrist phone in his hand is still beeping messily:

"Your Excellency Jiang...Jiang Sheng!" It was General Emma's furious voice, "Have you yelled enough, return the wrist phone to the leader, do you hear me!?"

"Hey, where are you going-damn, don't run! Have you violated military discipline? At least you have to make a report when you leave the team, you damn child!"

"Forget it, Major General," the leader, Old God, said, "At least he still remembers to jump out of the mecha, and run away without driving your Yaoguang. It's not easy."

Jiang Jianming didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He looked up, peering through the broken ceiling of the base.

He saw a corner of the blue sky where the gunpowder smoke cleared away, and his mood suddenly became much happier.

Yes, Jiang Jianming suddenly thought, since fate allowed him to return.

There will be enough reunions in the world, waiting for his appointment in the future.

The author has something to say:

At this time, His Royal Highness Lai An showed a look of longing for a reunion.

But he was ruthlessly imprisoned in the far interstellar by the author 🙂
