Yu Lian and Wayne were lying in the robot passage between the cabin and the third armor plate, and had just finished a brief call with the Earth.
The former said that this kind of operation was so normal that he was not surprised at all. The latter said that although he knew that bureaucrats were like this, he still couldn't accept it if it happened to him.
"At this time, you are still pretending! Stand by, who wants to stand by! A mere third-line secretary in the presidential palace dares to order me, Horatio Wayne, to stand by your uncle!"
"Brother Horatio, when did you learn to say such down-to-earth swear words!"
"Of course from Simon...ah, that's not the point!"
Since the earth is unreliable, he can only find a way to solve the problem on his own. Wayne was about to think of a combat plan when he saw the big screen on the commercial street opposite suddenly light up. The first thing that appeared on the light screen was naturally...
It is Brigadier Morey who poses a threat to Earth.
This episode unfolded in a routine, but Yu Lian and Wayne watched it very seriously and wanted to take the opportunity to observe the environment on the bridge. Immediately afterwards, it automatically switched to the conference venue of the Blue Princess.
That was the exact scene of the execution of two ordinary civilians.
Through the ventilation window of the pipe, they had a panoramic view of the scene on the big screen. The two of them watched the cruel incident throughout. Two innocent ordinary people were beaten through the head and fell on the stage, bleeding.
One place.
The two of them were speechless for a moment. The sense of accomplishment that they had just saved the "Elf of the Stars" suddenly disappeared.
Yu Lian sighed. He had seen this scene many times in his previous life. Although he felt sorry for the two innocent people, he also knew that even if he became the ultimate boss of the Nine Rings, he would be able to travel around the star sea in the body.
, but when manpower will eventually be exhausted, it will never be possible to save everyone.
He was a little lucky now that he had finally placed Miss Serena in a safe place. Such a scene was really not suitable for a little girl to observe on the spot.
Wayne clenched his fists tightly, his eyes almost bursting with fire: "These people are the military police special service team!"
"I know, the most elite special forces among the internal guards...how did you know that?"
Although these people were wearing high-end, close-fitting power combat suits and were loaded with live ammunition, they did not have any markings on their bodies. They only knew that they were a group of Earthlings.
"That person..." Wayne pointed to a certain figure on the screen: "Major Backus, before joining the Secret Service, he served in the Security Department and served as my grandfather's bodyguard."
Well, this is the natural network of connections of the upper-class son-in-law! The nature of this broken country is really clear at a glance!
"It's really shameful that soldiers have stooped to the point of using guns on unarmed civilians!"
"laugh……"
"Why are you laughing? Are you humiliating me again?"
"You are right, I am indeed humiliating you." Yu Lian glanced at the other party, as if he was scorning a pretty boy who has never been beaten by society: "If the army does not have the function of using guns against unarmed ordinary people, how can
Is there any need to exist?”
Wayne was slightly startled, and subconsciously wanted to refute, but with his IQ, he naturally understood what Yu Lian meant immediately, and immediately had to admit that what the other party said was really reasonable.
However, precisely because it made sense, he became even more depressed.
"Let's move on. That guy seems to be executing a group of hostages every half hour. If we want to prevent more tragedies, we must seize the time." Yu Liandao.
Of course Wayne understands this truth. But he also understands that people cannot really be calm and rational all the time. For example, as long as he thinks that Miss Fina is among that group of people, it is very likely that she will be in the next round.
During violence, you will be hurt and feel like you can't breathe.
Looking at Yu Lian who had remained calm from beginning to end, Wayne, who had always been a proud man, felt a more intuitive sense of frustration for the first time.
"When Brigadier General Morey appeared just now, I saw Feifei on his camera. Although it was only for a moment and she was shrinking in the crowd, I did see her!" Yu Lianda said.
Wayne was a little stunned. He was also watching just now, and he was so absorbed in it that he didn't even dare to blink, but he didn't even notice Miss Fina's existence.
"The hostages brought to the bridge by Morey should be relatively valuable and will not be easily harmed. We still have a certain amount of time." Yu Lian continued to move forward without looking back.
So, not only my calmness, but also my observation, concentration, and even my love for Miss Fina, have I lost to you?
Horatio Vane became even more depressed.
Fortunately, he quickly adjusted his mentality and said to himself: "Horatio Wayne, you have not lost yet! Life is a long marathon! Just because he is ahead of himself now does not mean that he will always be ahead of him in the future.
of!"
"The top priority is to regain contact with the outside world! It's impossible for the two of us to rescue the hostages!" Yu Lianda said.
Wayne nodded: "Didn't you successfully connect just now?"
"It was just a short moment. I just used the Slave 12 processor to briefly invade the communication channel and test the other party's shielding status. However, if the connection is forced for a long time, it is easy to attract the enemy. Moreover,
If it was really to contact the outside world, I would not connect directly to the earth. You don’t really think that if you send communications to the Eternal City, Madam Vice President, Mr. Prime Minister and so many big figures will pay attention to it, right?"
The previous contact had already proved this. Wayne could only admit that what Yu Lian said was reasonable, and said in a stiff tone: "Okay, what is the result of the test?"
"The problem is not big! Go to the central control room. I should have a way to bypass the communication shield of this ship. Anyway, it is a gadget produced by Jiuxing Company. It can strictly guard against the current mainstream Beka-style electromagnetic signals, but
The adaptability is too poor, and it cannot react to slight changes. This is a safety hazard that we can deal with! As long as I slightly change the wavelength, it can become a Z-shaped electromagnetic wave. However, first, a physical connection is required."
Thanks to the Imperial Academy of Military Sciences, the Z-type encrypted radio wave you developed has not yet become the mainstream of military encrypted signals, and even those who have heard of its existence are not aware of it.
In addition, I have to thank Ina who is two million light years away. It is only because of your short video that I know how to use sticky composite metal to shape it into the shape I want!
Wayne nodded again. Regardless of whether he understood it or not, it was just right to nod at this time.
"In addition, according to the original plan, don't we need to confirm the number and location of the hostages and enemies? Once we get there, I can try to invade the enemy's communication channel to confirm these."
The two of them set off decisively.
Wayne followed Yu Lian without saying a word, tiptoeing forward through the complicated engineering passages in the ship that were like a spider web. He had many things to ask, but he also knew that now was really not the time to make extraneous matters.
However, a few minutes later, when Yu Lian decisively led him through twelve intersections, he finally couldn't help it anymore.
"Why are you so familiar with this ship? How many times have you been on it?"
Uh, you brought me up! I also participated in the super ship project that converted the Azure Princess into a battlecruiser and renamed it the "Liberty Princess"! And I saw you with my own eyes.
Teacher Yang and I drained the two dome swimming pools on the front deck and forced a light spear cannon and an arc cannon into them!
The so-called burning harps and boiling cranes is nothing better than this!
"...I'm actually not familiar with it at all. I'm just moving forward according to my own intuition! Didn't I say that? Psykers sometimes have to trust their own intuition."
"What? Intuition! Are you playing metaphysics with me at this time?"
"This is the teaching of the spirit of the universe to us! This is the supernatural being discussing the occult! Shut up, mortal!"
Wayne thought carefully for a long time and finally decided not to raise his helmet and hit the opponent on the head. After all, he had no choice now.
Of course, Yu Lian felt Brother Wayne's anger, but he really couldn't explain it, so he could only use the omnipotent spirit of the universe to take the blame.
Fortunately, the spirit of the universe actually appeared. After crawling in the pipe for more than ten minutes, the two of them avoided several scorpion-shaped robots patrolling the pipe, and then came to a relatively wide space.
In the duct, through the ventilation duct on the side, you can see the door of the central control room at a glance.
However, at this moment, the door is closed tightly, and two humanoid robots are standing guard at the door, meticulous and motionless, like steel statues.
"Grey Mist Guard Type 2... This thing is not an opponent that can be taken down in one or two rounds." Yu Lian curled his lips and gave up the idea of entering through the gate. He closed his eyes and derived his psychic perception.
In the past, it was certain that there were at least ten people in the central control room, but none of them were psykers, and none of them felt Wang Jingyang's aura.
Yu Lian gritted his teeth, tried hard to suppress the increasingly intense worries in his heart, and continued to move along the pipeline. Wayne behind him naturally followed without saying a word.
Soon, the scenery in front of them suddenly opened up, and they entered a large computer room.
In the center of the computer room, countless pipelines connected the floor and ceiling, and were entangled with the machines in the center of the room.
"This is the No. 1 communication central control terminal of the Azure Princess. It is a commercial ship communication computer ordered from the Republic of Minlan. In addition, there are No. 2 and No. 3 as backup. Of course, if No. 1 is still normal, the backup
It won't start."
Wei Enonuo nodded. He was numb now and decided that it would be better to give up thinking for the time being. He understood that if there was no Yulian along the way, not only would he be lost, but he would also have fought with various patrol robots.
.
Yu Lian picked up the intrusion terminal that was temporarily assembled with various machine parts, pulled out the line, and made a direct physical connection with the central computer. Then he operated on the pieced-together portable device.
stand up.
While he was changing the electromagnetic wavelength of his information terminal, his eyes were rapidly scanning the images and numbers that kept popping up, trying to memorize all the information.
At this moment, the information terminal of the Azure Princess has been completely opened to him. To him, there is no secret on this ship.
Wayne looked at the other party's operation and said he didn't understand it at all, and suddenly felt like a monkey.
He also took engineering and communications management as electives, and got pretty good grades. However, he couldn't understand the other party's operations at all.
Fortunately, before Wayne's mentality completely exploded, Yu Lian finally finished all the work and pointed at the headset.
"... Phew, the situation is better than I thought." He said.
"Oh? What should I say?"
"We are not completely alone on this ship. Let me just say, there are hundreds of security personnel on the Celeste Princess. How could it be possible that they were all wiped out so silently?"
Wayne instantly understood what Yu Lian meant, and felt happy.
At this time, there was a loud noise in the ears of the two of them. Wayne thought that what he would hear immediately was a certain big shot in the Friendship City, such as Marshal Aylwin, but then there was a loud noise.
What came was a very familiar voice. It was Akinayama Hachiman.
"Horatio, Yulian, is that you?"
Wayne couldn't help but glared at Yu Lian fiercely.
"I think the people on those two ships are more reliable than the big shots on earth, don't you think so?" Yu Lian shrugged.
Wayne had to admit that he really felt that way. After all, the previous facts had already shown this, so his eyes became even more fierce.
Yu Lian ignored him and lowered his voice and replied: "We are on the Blue Princess. We are lucky so far and have not become hostages!"
A small cheer seemed to come from Wayne's headset.
"That's great, Lian Jun is fine..." This was Liuli with a trembling voice.
"You scared me to death!" With a faint cry, this was Zhixia.
"You're not hurt, are you?" Anxiety and irritability were suppressed in her composure. This was Annie.
"It sounds like she's still in good health." She acted very calmly, but she obviously breathed a long sigh of relief. This is Dana.
"Bless the spirit of the universe!" This is Lilia's sincere prayer.
"Oh, by the way, Mr. Horatio should be fine too, right? That's great." Sure enough, Liuli is the most considerate, and at least she knows how to make up for a greeting. However, Brother Wayne obviously didn't appreciate it, and he immediately
Black face.
Then, in this jubilant atmosphere, Akinayama Hachiman's voice suddenly seemed a little listless: "Anyway, thank you for coming to keep me safe... But, you sent a message at this time, it should be more than that, right?"
Wayne continued to look grim, as if he didn't want to say anything.
Yu Lian shrugged and lowered his voice: "Where are Major Calder and others from the supervision team now?"
"Oh, before the incident happened, I had already taken the ferry back to the director's office to report." Zhixia's voice was very natural, but it was so natural that it suddenly seemed unnatural.
"It doesn't matter what Lian Jun wants to say now. We only have our own people now." Liuli added.
I just pretend I don’t know anything. Yu Lian said to himself, cleared his throat, and began to report the current situation: "Except Brigadier General Morey, there are fifty-six terrorists in total. Sixteen of them are
Commodore Lei is on the bridge, where there are 223 hostages. In addition, 30 people are guarding the remaining 21,134 hostages outside the auditorium, commanded by Major Bald. The remaining ten enemies are guarding the remaining 21,134 hostages.
The central control room next to us is on standby, responsible for monitoring the status of the entire ship!"
"Who is it?" Kent's voice came from the headset.
"Military Police Service." Wayne replied.
"Oh, okay, bad news." Hachiman's voice became more distressed.
"In addition, there are a total of two hundred unknown combat robots on the ship, divided into two types. Two of them are on standby outside the central control room, twelve are on the bridge, and forty are in the auditorium. The rest are
Still patrolling the ship."
"More bad news!" Luo Zeshi's voice also sounded.
"Captain, um, and Captain Wien, do you have the model of the robot? I can analyze it." Eisen's voice came from the headset.
It's a pity, brother Aisen, even if you and your friends are now fully matured into perfect bodies, if you haven't seen anything before, you just haven't seen it!
Even so, out of politeness, Yu Lian still sent the message, and then came the distressed voices of several future tech masters.
"What the hell is this?"
"There is no such combat robot in active service, I'm sure of it!"
"Sure enough, it's a model I've never seen before?" Wayne sighed.
"Yes! Bad news among bad news!" The helplessness and distress in Akinayama Hachiman's voice were about to condense into resentment.
Yes, there is no model, no source, no performance, everything is unknown, which is too creepy.
Fortunately, at this time, he heard Yu Liandao again: "Of course, the other good news is that not all the security personnel on the Blue Princess were wiped out. There are still more than 300 people locked in the security room. Their hands
There are weapons in there!”
Yu Lian estimated that Brigadier General Morey, as the head of security, asked them to stand by in the security room. As long as his subordinates took the opportunity to lock the door of the security room, they could silently deprive the Blue Princess of all security forces.
Already.
So, can’t I just do the opposite?
Wayne's eyes lit up, and he felt that there was finally something he could do.
"I said... you don't want to free the security guards and take them back to take back the Blue Princess, right?" Akinayama Hachiman's voice became more helpless.
"I'm not that reckless. This cannot ensure the safety of the hostages. The most important thing is Feifei's safety!" There were no outsiders anyway, so Yu Lian simply spoke frankly.
Wayne kept nodding aside, feeling that this was the most human-like thing Yu Lian had said tonight.
"In addition, the destroyer outside is the biggest threat! Its firepower may not be able to sink the Blue Princess immediately, but with a few shots, I don't know how many people will die..."
Yu Lian's words caused silence on the other side of the headset.
"So, I sincerely come to ask for everyone's opinions. Wayne and I are going to find a place to hide, wait until the matter is over, and let the Earth and Commodore Morey come to an agreement to sacrifice our lives and the more than 20,000 people on the ship.
Human lives, including Feifei’s life, are all placed in the hands of others. Or... let’s all work together to find a way to solve this matter!”
After a while, Akinayama Hachiman's plaintive voice sounded in the headset again: "Tell me, what do you want to do?"
"I do have a small plan. However, it's too much of a gamble. At this time, everyone needs to check and fill in the gaps. In addition, brother Hachiman, by the way, use your brains and formulate a plan B for us!"
I don’t know what Akinayama Hachiman’s expression was at this time. He was probably pushing up his glasses again.
