"Strange." Bai Ning glanced at the blue electronic door in surprise, "Hasn't the welcome message at the base not been changed in seven or eight years? When did you add a new one?"

He quickly let go of this odd detail, though.

"The next broadcast is the command from the central control room: please gather all the central commandos, all warship pilots and commanders immediately... the third test flight of the airship 'Pangu' is about to start, the countdown Two hours."

The soft mechanical sound resounded through the entire base again.

Lin Xingzhui heard Bai Ning's "tsk", and looked unhappy, and frowned.Bai Ning raised his head in annoyance, and said to Lin Xingzhu, "Let's hurry up. I have to get you into the detention center first, so that Song Ji won't come and talk to me again."

Lin Xingzhu was a little curious: "Are you in a hurry to carry out the mission?"

"Didn't you hear just now, the Central Commando is all assembled, of course I can't run away." Bai Ning led him to the long white stairs, "Our airship is about to start test flight again—don't look We have only conducted two test flights so far, but the base’s research on airships has undergone earth-shaking changes. This test flight has been adjusted, and it is estimated that we will be able to put it into actual combat next time..." Speaking of airships, Bai Ning's face was full of pride and expectation.

"Then why were you upset just now?" Lin Xingzhu asked.

"I don't have a problem with the aircraft ship, I'm right—" Bai Ning's expression changed, and he stopped talking with some displeasure, "Forget it, why am I telling you these things?"

Lin Xingzhu found this young captain very interesting, with a very expressive expression.It was completely different from the soldiers at the outpost just now with cold, statue-like expressions.It wouldn't be bad if there were more officers on the base who were as willing to chat with civilians as he was.

Then, he was thrown in front of the gate of the military detention center.

When the soldiers on duty in the detention center saw Lin Xingzhuo's posture surrounded by commandos, they stood up straight in fright, thinking that the commandos had brought him some vicious criminals—when he saw Lin Xingzhuo clearly through the light, After staring at Xingzhuan's face, he hesitated for a moment involuntarily.

"I'll leave this person to you." Captain Bai left behind these words, and led his team members away in a hurry.Tuliu Lin Xingxiu and the soldier on duty looked at each other.

The soldier stared at Lin Xingzhuan vigilantly: "What crime did you commit?"

Lin Xingzhu: "...The intrusion into the military communication channel has been completed?"

The soldier breathed a sigh of relief, at least it wasn't a violent crime, which meant that the criminal was not very dangerous.

"But how could it be that the Central Commando personally escorted you?" The soldier felt a little strange.

"Probably because I invaded Admiral Ji's private channel." Lin Xingzhu spread his hands.Ji Yuncheng, Admiral Ji, should be called by this name, right?

Soldier:"......"

The soldier gave him a horrified, awed look.

Lin Xingzhu: "..." Is that an exaggeration?Is Ji Yuncheng a scourge?The kind that can eat people?

Lin Xingzhu was locked in the innermost cell.

The walls of the detention center are also made of metal, separating out narrow and dark cells like matchboxes, from time to time there are a few shouts and whispers.The cell in which Lin Xingzhu was locked up was different. The walls were covered with a layer of bright silver material, and the space was slightly larger than other cells. The lights illuminated almost every corner of the cell.

"You go in." The soldier's expression was a little unnatural, "The trial will start in about twelve hours."

Lin Xingzhu: "By the way, I want to ask, there are two more people with me, one is an injured old man, and the other is a minor child, will they be locked up here too?"

"If adults are seriously injured, they shouldn't be sent here. The same goes for underage teenagers." The soldier replied, "But you should stand together and stand trial."

"Understood, thank you." Lin Xingzhuo thanked him politely, but the soldier didn't even look at him, and avoided him as if fleeing.

Lin Xingzhu sighed.Fortunately, there was a bed in the cell, so he could lie down and rest for a while.

He fell asleep.

In a half-dream and half-awake state, he seemed to have heard something on the radio in the detention center.

"Airship 'Pangu'...the test flight was successful...one pilot was injured...the headquarters has decided to draw up the battleship command regulations, which will be formally implemented in the near future.... ..”

Then people's discussion gradually became louder.

"Another test flight was successful."

"We are not far from victory!"

"To deal with the Zerg, it is to suppress them in the air battlefield..."

Lin Xingzhu was forced to wake up.He found that the previous test flight project should have been a great success, and even the prisoners in the detention center were passionately discussing the future of aircraft and human beings, presumably other corners of the base are also full of joy.

"...What's the use of a successful battleship test flight?"

Youdao's old voice was drowned in the cheerful atmosphere. Lin Xingzhu could hear that it probably came from his cellmate next door. He couldn't see the other person's appearance, but he could vaguely imagine the image of a vicissitudes and thin old man.

"Based on the resources of our Qiming base, we can only build up to six warships of the same size as 'Pangu'. The deep-sea base Agor in the Pacific Ocean is separated from us... as early as ten years ago. Nine battleships were developed. But they still gave up fighting against the Zerg, and instead pinned their hopes on the space immigration plan... Even with the battleship, we still have no power to fight the Zerg.”

"The end of humanity is near..."

The old man probably didn't intend to tell anyone these words, he just poured out his despair in the dark.

Lin Xingzhui discerned the direction of the voice, and knocked on the wall: "Mr., you are too pessimistic."

The voice paused for a moment, and said calmly: "I'm just explaining the reality."

"We realized that we had to shift the center of the battlefield from the ground to the air, which is not wrong. But the Zerg also drove the battleship at the beginning, descended from the sky into the city, and then started killing...Since they came , Space is their home field. But we haven’t found a way to defeat them.” The old man said these words in one breath, coughing a few times, “Humans have lived underground for a long time, and they have forgotten the time when the Zerg descended from the sky and harvested countless lives in an instant. It's terrible."

"But this is a life-and-death battle between humans and Zerg." Lin Xingzhui sighed, and said, "Even if the hope of victory is illusory... Humans will never be able to turn their backs on past hatred and seek relief."

"You are right." The old man replied, "Earth and human beings both have memories. Human history has designated the day when the Zerg invaded as the 'Day of Good Friday' for human beings, which was written in the base's education textbooks. However, about Well, us old folks have another interpretation—”

He seemed to take a deep breath before he could continue what he had just said.

"That day was called the 'God Abandoned Day' by us."

"I know that the newborn children of your generation have scoffed at the saying 'God Abandoned the Sun'. But a long time ago, there were indeed gods on Earth."

"Our civilization and our future are all dependent on Him. Otherwise, we will have many unexplainable problems: for example, the unity of human beings in civilization construction for thousands of years, and for a long time, human technology has always been The rapid but very even momentum is developing... These are all against common sense. They are evidence of His existence."

Lin Xingzhu stopped breathing.

He quietly listened to the old man's words, but couldn't utter any words.

"So, it's not us who are stubborn and want to abandon human beings, but the earth—or God, has already abandoned us first. The gods created our civilization by themselves, but they feel that our civilization is insignificant. At this time, there appeared in space The swarm of insects that seemed to be punished by God, mercilessly destroyed everything about human beings... I have been afraid to think about this question for a long time. However, human beings do have their own pride... Therefore, with this concept, I am a sinner of the species, and I would rather be locked up here for the rest of my life."

"But I'm still full of fear. I'm afraid to hear the wailing of my people again. Even for a moment...I can't take it anymore."

The old man stopped talking.

Lin Xingzhu also stared at the light above his head speechlessly, until the bright white light gradually blurred his vision.He really wanted to say something to the old man, whether it was Lin Xingzhu's identity or the "Creator God".But he realized that no matter how he spoke, he probably couldn't make up for the crack in the old man's heart.

Suddenly, someone's footsteps came from the empty corridor.Lin Xingzhu's cell door was easily opened by a young man in a white coat, but there were no soldiers standing beside him.

"You are Lin Xingzhu?"

The young man has black, clear eyes.The hair is also black.The voice was as clear as a river flowing, but with a touch of coldness.

Lin Xingzhu remembered this voice.

"Are you Song Ji?"

"I have a good memory." Song Ji nodded, looked him up and down, and threw him a communicator, "Now, in front of me, decipher Admiral Ji's communication channel again."

Lin Xingzhu: "...?"

"Hurry up." Song Ji paused for a moment, and added, "Well done, I can apply for a position in the scientific research institute for you. You will have immunity, and you won't have to go to trial or be imprisoned again."

But Lin Xingzhu always felt that Song Ji's tone was inexplicably unfriendly.

He remembered that some kind of encryption technology seemed to be developed by the people led by Song Ji - just wanted to see how his research results were surpassed by another person?

Song Ji, so scary.

But in the face of Song Ji's generous conditions, Lin Xingzhu still did it once.This time he kept his hand, and it took about 30 seconds, which should be close to the current technological level of the earth.

But Song Ji was stunned for a moment. When he looked up at Lin Xingzhu, his eyes were very deep.

"...I will apply to the base." Song Ji turned around and left after leaving only this sentence. He was wearing a white coat and flitting against the wind.

Lin Xingzhu: "..."

What was even more speechless was that a cold and clear male voice came out from the communication channel in his hand. He seemed to have heard the movement on Lin Xingzhu's side and asked:

"who is it?"

Lin Xingzhu: "..."

Lin Xingzhu: "......"

Lin Xingzhu: "Sorry, it's me again."
