MTL - [Mecha] Bandit Army Reborn-Chapter 95 set sail
Fei Wushu's expression is embarrassing now. Even if Angela told him "Fei Wushu, I'm actually a woman", it would be more credible than "I'm Hastings' brother", right?
Hastings! Angela!
Will the two be brothers? !
Fei Wushu didn't know what he wanted to express at the moment. He just felt that his thinking ability had been broken somewhere. He laughed three times with twitching corners of his mouth, and looked at Angelil cautiously: "It's wrong to lie to people. Are you a fan of Hastings?" That's why you helped Hastings frame him? Fei Wushu felt that this was the truth.
"I am indeed his elder brother." Angela whispered, "Before he was ten years old, I had a very good relationship with him. Do you know that feeling when your younger brother looks at you with wholehearted dependence? Soft Huhu hugging your calf, how did you feel when you called 'brother' numbly?"
Fei Wushu was startled, put away his teasing thoughts, and lowered his eyes...Of course he knew.
"What about after the age of ten?" Fei Wushu still believed Angela's words, there was no need for this person to lie to him. In particular, the two faces of Hastings and Angelell do seem to be produced by a single gene.
"I think this story will be very long." Angela smiled bitterly.
"Now I have a lot of time." Fei Wushu spread his hands, he was suddenly curious, how did a person like Hastings be associated with the word soft?
Angelell nodded, and slowly started to talk: "You know why humans migrated from the earth, right?"
Want to talk about history again? Fei Wushu's head was very big, and he threw out two words in disgust: "Bugs."
"Hmm. It's bugs." Angelail said slowly, his voice was very pleasant, but what he said was not very good, "The Fernan family discovered these bugs in the Federation more than three hundred years ago .”
"Wait, wait!" Fei Wushu raised his hand to stop Angelil from continuing. He needed to digest the facts, and after a while he frowned and confirmed cautiously, "Is this true? How do you know that it was an invasion of the earth?" Zerg?"
"It's true." Angelail roughly gestured with his hand, "When you see them, you will understand that they are bugs."
Fei Wushu imagined an enlarged version of the cockroach, was disgusted, and motioned for Angela to continue.
"Every generation of the Fernan family can become top-notch talents in various fields no matter what kind of work they choose to do when they grow up." Angelail said without showing off, "More than three hundred years ago, There is an elder who loves interstellar adventures, drives his private starship all year round, shuttles to remote corners of the Federation, develops many safe starship routes for the Federation, and discovers many natural wormholes at the same time."
Fei Wushu listened noncommittally, thinking that every generation of the Fei family is a big bandit and old hooligan, compared to the Fernan family is really an elite family.
"He discovered the bug?" Fei Wushu still had no real sense of cognition about the bug that forced humans to abandon their habitat. He couldn't imagine what kind of creature it was, and how terrifying that creature was, so He couldn't be vigilant and afraid of the worms just by a few words—the worms are too far away from the Federation, like a small supporting role in a fairy tale, only appearing once as a decoration when extolling the great deeds of the Federation's ancestors.
Angelell nodded: "When he first discovered it, he didn't take it seriously. However, during the subsequent travels, more and more bugs were discovered one after another. At that time, he suddenly realized that this kind of creature is not Occasionally, there should be a group, which reminds me of the Zerg that existed in history."
"Ethnic group?" Fei Wushu squinted his eyes, "Then did you find their base camp later?"
"No. Their group is not in the federation." Angirel said, "With so many years of observation by the family, it has been determined that these bugs should have been drawn into the wormhole in the universe, but from the wormhole of the federation Throwing it out—showing up in the Commonwealth that way."
Through a wormhole? Fei Wushu thought of one thing: "Can they survive in dark space? Can they survive in the universe?"
Seeing Angeliel's nod affirmatively, Fei Wushu finally realized how tough the bugs are, at least they can survive in the universe full of strange rays, and the vitality of those guys is not as strong as usual.
"Why doesn't the Federation have any news about this?" If it's really such a big deal for the Zerg, not to mention the Fei family, at least the Mo family should get the news, right?
"At that time, the patriarch of the Fernan family conveyed the news to the Federal Prime Minister, and handed over the captured living body to the Federal Research Institute for dissection, and finally confirmed the identity of this creature Zerg." Angela's voice became heavy, "If the news of the Zerg's infestation near the Federation is spread, it will definitely cause unprecedented panic in the Federation. And the number of bugs discovered at that time was indeed very small, completely within the controllable range, so the Prime Minister classified the news as the top secret of the Federation, Only the prime ministers of the past have the authority to read this information. Even the three major families in the dark world have no way of knowing this news."
"After that, the federation set up monitors near the wormhole, and once they found any worms entering the federation, they would send people to strangle them. This kind of mission has been carried out by people from the Fernand family since more than three hundred years ago. Execute. Because we are the only ones in the know besides the Prime Minister."
"In the beginning, the number of bugs was really not that many, and one in a year is considered too many." Angelil recalled the information he had read in the family, and his face was extremely ugly, "But as time goes by, Two worms a year, ten, and now more than a hundred worms, more and more worms have fallen into the Federation through wormholes, and sending a few people alone will not be able to complete the task at all."
"Therefore, with the prime minister's acquiescence, the Fernan family formed a loyal private army."
"Since then, the Federation has sent troops to clean up the Zerg every year, and even let the troops stay in that star field. Of course, the reasons for sending troops are usually exercises, crusade against anti-federal militants, and extermination of pirates. But in fact, in the military After Fang set off, the private army of the Fernan family will leave the army and go to the vicinity of the wormhole under the pretext of carrying out a secret mission. Hastings, he..." Angelil calmed down, and said, "Hastings, he Since the age of seventeen, he has been the commander of the private army of the Fernan family."
Fei Wushu followed his words: "So in the past, it was often reported in the news that he went there to fight wars and kill pirates. In fact, he went there to kill bugs?"
"Yeah." Angelell bit his lip, and there was a layer of water in his eyes, "The injuries were also... all from bugs. Once, he was in a coma in the capital hospital for several months before waking up."
Fei Wushu nodded knowingly. At that time, the outside media reported that Hastings was assassinated by desperadoes.
"But do you want to keep hiding it from the federal people?" Fei Wushu scratched his hair in confusion, "According to the trend you said, there will be a day when there will be more bugs than can be controlled?"
"That's right." Angelail was talking to Fei Wushu at this moment, not as a federal star, but as the eldest son who received various educations in the Fernan family, "In order to deal with that day, The Federation has been secretly stockpiling power and accepted the Fernan family's proposal not long ago."
"What proposal?" Fei Wushu's eyelids twitched, as if he was getting to the point.
"The proposal to implement the game 'New World OL' in the federation." Angiril lowered his eyes unbearably. He couldn't stop his own family, nor could he stop the federation's decision. Alienation, the reason why we can never get together again—it’s too cruel to take away human beings from another galaxy!
Sure enough, they made the game! What do you think of the people in the Heyue galaxy? ! Fei Wushu's eyes turned unfriendly: "What are you guys trying to do?" The matter of the bugs has nothing to do with this, right? !
Angirel's expression was blurred outside the laser bar, and he said word by word: "What the Fernan family wants to do is to integrate the natural factions of the Heyue galaxy with the technological power of the Federation, so that the strength of the Federation can be qualitatively improved." leap."
"Ha..." Fei Wushu had an incomprehensible expression on his face, "What is that?"
"Three hundred years ago, although the Federation was vigilant against the Zerg incident, Patriarch Fernan at that time thought..." Angelail confessed all the entanglements in the past in a complicated tone.
At that time, the Fernand family believed that although there were only a few sporadic bugs that strayed into the Federation, it was not a problem, but it proved the fact that the Zergs do still exist in the universe, and no one can completely deny that the Zergs will attack Possibility of invading the Commonwealth.
Although that day may be ten years later, a hundred years later, or a thousand years later... But since there are already bugs appearing in front of our eyes, then human beings must think about the worst situation. That is, in the face of a large-scale invasion by the Zerg, what should the Federation do to resist it? Can you resist it? Will the Federation be forced to abandon their homes and flee again like their predecessors?
Compared with the legendary earth, the technology of the new galaxy is much more advanced.
But in the long time, it is impossible that only human beings are developing and progressing, and the Zerg will also evolve! Can the Federation beat the Zerg today? At that time, the Fernan people thought so. However, after personally participating in the process of killing bugs, he came to the conclusion: no.
Then, if one day in the future, the Zerg army appears in the federation, then the federation can only retreat steadily and follow the old path of human beings in the past?
Surrounded by an unprecedented sense of crisis and anxiety, Patriarch Fernan deliberated for a long time in the study and finally made a decision. He wanted to find the group of people who had defected from the Federation. The current strength of the Federation alone was not enough to fight against the Zerg. Only the combination of technology and human potential could have the hope of victory.
The traitors hid themselves into the chaotic star field, so patriarch Fernan spent huge sums of money to build 578 top-performance starships, gathered members of the clan who volunteered to go there, and manipulated these starships to quietly go to the chaotic star field. On the star field, rushing to a feast of death that may never return.
Even if the hope is faint, but also to try. The patriarch Fernan at the time thought so.
In fact, I really didn't have much hope... However, one day, one of the starships pierced out of the chaotic star field in tatters, and successfully returned to the Fernand family!
The information they brought back said that they were found on an abandoned star in the chaotic star field. Although he was skeptical about this, after reading the content of the message, everyone believed it.
Through the information sent back, they knew that the group of rebels had taken root on the opposite side of the chaotic star field, which they called the Heyue galaxy. Those people have also developed the potential of the human body to the extreme over a long period of time. The cultural customs of the Heyue Galaxy cannot be created casually, so Patriarch Fernan no longer doubts the authenticity of the information retrieved by the starship.
The message also mentioned a kind of ore—the black crystal of insect poppies. Attached is the structure diagram of the spirit guide device made with this ore.
The message said that by using the spirit guide device, the spirit body of the Federation people can directly reach the Heyue Galaxy through the dark space.
This kind of statement should have been scoffed at by people, but maybe the previous information has won the trust of everyone, or maybe there is no other way to contact the Heyue Galaxy, so if you try it, you might succeed, even if you fail, you will be responsible Unable to afford the idea of loss, the Fernand family began to secretly study the spirit guide device and try to manufacture it.
It took more than 30 years to find Chongying Black Crystal, and the principle and structure of the spirit guiding device itself were quite complicated, so the head of the Fernan family could not see the finished product. When the finished product came out, it was time for Angela's grandfather to be the head of the house.
But after the finished product came out, no one knew whether this product, which has been devoted to a century of painstaking efforts, would transmit a person's spiritual body to the Heyue galaxy as the message said. In order to verify its efficacy, Anji's grandfather secretly captured many lawbreakers from the Federation and directly used living bodies to test the efficacy of the spirit guiding device.
Of course, the test turned out to be a failure. The mental world of the person used for the experiment collapsed and became a living dead.
However, researchers have discovered that the spirit guiding device is indeed not a mere decoration, but can guide people's spiritual body out of the body. So no one said to give up, they took back and modified the spirit guide device, and then experimented with it—this endless loop-like process continued until Angie's father became the patriarch.
At that time, the spirit guiding device was modified repeatedly, approaching the perfection on the structural diagram, and everyone had a premonition that it might succeed next time. But the next success has been far away.
Things turned around when Hastings was eight and Angie Riel was thirteen. That day, the pirate who was captured back to Fernan's house for experimentation escaped with a spirit guide device in the middle of the experiment. He knew that he would never be able to escape the Fernan family's search in the capital planet, and he simply gave up hope of survival, but he To take revenge, to make the Fernan family suffer the last time. So he planned to kidnap the eldest son of the Fernand family and the next head of the Fernand family, Angela.
At that time, Angelael was accompanied by Hastings, unable to resist in front of a man whose strength was several times higher than theirs. Before the man was about to catch Angela, Hastings slammed into him fiercely and pushed Angela into the river next to him, but he was a step too slow and failed to fall into the river, and was caught by the reaction The man quickly grabbed the collar.
The man used the spirit guiding device on Hastings—this was what he planned to use on Angelell, to retaliate against the Fernand family with an eye for an eye.
After doing all this, the man brought the unconscious Hastings to the door of the Fernand family, laughed wildly and committed suicide.
Everyone thought that Hastings would collapse in his spiritual world and become a living dead like the previous test subject. After all, Hastings is still an eight-year-old child, and his mental power is not fully developed. Even a seven or eight-level mental power expert cannot survive the test. No one will have hope for a child like Hastings.
The family, at Angelell's insistence, arranged for Hastings to have a permanent care unit in the hospital.
However, when everyone gave up like this, the child in the permanent nursing ward opened his eyes on the bed, although it was more than a month later.
Angelail was the first to rush into the ward, but what greeted him was not his younger brother's pretty smiling face, but a cold, lifeless gaze—as if the person on the hospital bed had all his emotions taken away, but A cold mechanical doll, without emotion, without desire, so cold that people shiver from the bottom of their hearts.
Hastings still remembered calling him "brother", but the flat and dull tone finally made Angelil unbearably squatting on the ground, covering his ears and crying loudly—it shouldn't be like this! His younger brother is as beautiful as a porcelain doll, he can laugh and act like a baby, his voice is soft and cowardly, he has the seriousness of a little adult, and he can also play mischievously, it shouldn't be like this!
But then family researchers flooded into the ward and pushed him out of the room.
He leaned on the door and looked in, and saw his younger brother sitting on the bed, surrounded by a bunch of people, being examined by various instruments inserted into his body, cooperating with each other, his eyes were indifferent, and he really became a cold man. Porcelain dolls, without the slightest human anger.
Later, the researchers came to the conclusion that although Hastings did not have a mental breakdown like the previous test subjects, his spiritual origin was severely damaged. It is a miracle that he can wake up, but in terms of personality and emotion, perhaps There will be something missing.
The researcher said it very implicitly, but everyone understood that in Hastings' current state, except that he could act autonomously, the rest was no different from a living dead.
He has no emotions, no likes or dislikes, no idea of what he wants or wants to do, except for his heartbeat, the rest is no different from a robot that executes orders one by one. Angela's father took such a Hastings away for two years. At that time, Angirel asked what his father was going to do to Hastings, and the current Patriarch Fernan just told him that since he was no different from a robot, he should input logic instructions for the robot.
Robots must abide by the three precepts. First, they must not harm humans or sit by and watch humans be harmed; second, robots must obey human orders unless they conflict with the first law; Next, the robot must protect itself.
But Hastings' father gave him only one commandment.
Hearing this, Fei Wushu couldn't help asking: "What is it?"
"It's the family motto of the Fernand family—always be loyal to the Federation." Angelail clenched his fists with his hands on his lap. He suppressed his emotions and said in a low voice, "Two years later, Hastings will show up again. When you are in front of me, it is what you know now."
"Father told me at the time that Hastings will take the place of the head of my family. He is more suitable than me." Angirel stared at his hand and said softly, "I know it. My personality is not suitable at all. The position of the head of the family."
"But that night, Hastings found me. He told me something that I will never forget in my life." Angela raised her head, with tears in her eyes, but a gentle smile on her lips, "He said, 'I have become the heir of the head of the family, brother, you can do what you want. Even if it is singing, father will not stop you, this is the condition he promised me'..."
The tears in his eyes slid down his cheeks, but his smile was more profound and sincere, "He still remembers what I told him inadvertently when he was a child, and wanted to bring happiness to everyone with my singing...I just said once..."
Fei Wushu remained silent.
"I owe him." Angelail wiped his tears with his hand, his voice was trembling but firm, "I should have been the one who was kidnapped that time, and I should have been the one who was traumatized and turned into a lifeless person." , I should have been the one to bear the heavy burden of the Fernand family! But Hastings took it all for me..."
"Even if Hastings made a big mistake, even if he stood on the opposite side of all mankind, I will stand on his side." Angelail stood up with red eyes, and bowed deeply. Lowering his waist, "So, I'm really sorry. I can't refuse any request from him."
Fei Wushu exhaled slowly, and waved his hands: "You can't refuse, right? Unless you are really selfless to a certain level. Everyone has a time when they become selfish and dark for someone." He was depressed. Touched his chin, why did he want to comfort a person who framed him?
I couldn't figure it out, so I simply blamed it on his rare sensibility. Fei Wushu shrugged his shoulders: "But if you choose to stand on his side, we will almost be enemies from now on. Now let's make it clear, next time we meet, I will not hold back against you." He added with a smile Said, "...Although I heard you tell such a big story."
Angelil stared at Fei Wushu in a daze for a long while, then unconsciously raised a smile: "It's really a pity that I can't be your friend. But next time I meet you, I won't be able to treat you as an enemy." of."
"They won't hurt you, they just want to exchange one thing. I only know so much." Angirel left the visiting room with a last sentence, and left the visiting room with a deep apology.
Outside the room, Su Tang caught a glimpse of Angelil coming out, his gaze swept over the other's red eyes, and he shook his head helplessly, he really wasn't expected to be the head of the house. Except for this beautiful and over-the-top face, he doesn't look like the major general's brother at all.
"Finished?" he asked.
"Yeah." Angela nodded, "Let's go."
Compared with the young future, my brother is much gentler. Su Tang bent his lips, glanced sideways at the half-closed door behind him, and didn't ask what the two of them said or how the conversation was going, just raised his chin, and said in a lazy and **** voice, "This way."
