Although the Free Alliance occupies almost the entire territory outside the territory, the extraterritorial environment is harsh, and there are not many places that are really suitable for living.

The Free Alliance is a military-civilian one, and almost all the races excluded by the Federation have found their foundations outside the territory.

It's okay to fight a little in peace, but since the head-to-head battle, more and more "civilians" have voluntarily joined the coalition.

After the Star Network Concord infection incident, Lucas responded quickly, and immediately cleaned up all suspected "infected" lifeforms outside the territory, killing the serious ones, while the minor ones were locked in a cell and sent to guard them day and night.

After all, the team may be relatives and friends.

Lucas is not Rhodes after all, and the leaders gathered in the name of freedom are naturally impossible to massacre their compatriots and cause public grievances.

But in this way, in order to fill the vacancies, those races that were neither infected nor previously joined the army voluntarily joined the resistance army.

The entire extraterritorial region is organized in an orderly manner, and the training time is jointly stipulated, but outside the military training time, everyone is also engaged in normal daily work to ensure the basic operation of the living system.

Just finished the morning training now, and the day of life has just begun.

During the day, 8:30 am planetary time.

School-aged children are being organized to start their morning classes; hawkers in the market are setting up their morning stalls, and many firearms and daily necessities are mixed and sold on a table; the plant that gave Dawn a lollipop earlier The living beings are singing a race-specific hymn against the sun.

Locke slammed a table, and excitedly pulled a hacker who had never met a few times to let him enter the data into the system immediately;

Zong Shili lit up the 168th self-made signal tower, and just completely restored the communication network in Area C;

Joshua led a part of the army to the frontal battlefield;

Yue Ge leaned on the signal pile that had just stood up, chewed bubble gum in his mouth, and blew a huge bubble...

Then, she saw a red dot.

The red dots descended from the sky, getting closer and closer, with the smell of death, breaking through the paper-like atmosphere and crashing into the tallest building outside the region.

The bubbles in Yue Ge's mouth burst.

She violently pulled Zong Shili to the ground, and the fiery red meteor smashed a giant hole in the store not far from them, and the glass fragments brought by the explosion cut through the skin and cut off the connected nerve veins.

The world fell into a pale, decaying silhouette of white light, and even the sound disappeared into silence.

Then, the second, the third...

The successive missiles plunged the entire central city into chaos.

The earth was shaking, and the ancient crust was blasted with countless rubble and dust, mixed with grotesque bodies, flesh and blood, and dying struggles covered by the silence filter.

Time seemed to stand still.

Until Yue Ge regained consciousness, opened her eyes again, and the endless flames licked her entire retina.

tick-

The hoarse cries resumed with the heartbeat.

Armie is very pleased with the results he has caused.

"Report! The target's mental fluctuations have been successfully located!"

The voice of the technicians sounded like a reminder.

Their warships are equipped with the latest achievements of Sanxingdui and Military Research Institute.

The mental fluctuations of Lu Yi and others are recorded in the StarNet database. As long as they can capture a person's mental fluctuations, they can locate the specific location.

Not to mention that they brought a mobile star network, as long as it is within the coverage area, the positioning system of the black hole controller can play a role.

They are bound to win the battle to retake the controller!

"Where?" Armi stood in front of the window and listened to the wonderful sound he made before striding over to the technician to ask.

"Location is not far."

The technical soldiers are locked layer by layer, the scale is enlarged, and the thermal induction of different colors is layered on top of one another.

"However, the signal is still shielded inside, and the specific location cannot be determined. The multi-layer structure of the corridor requires a carpet inspection."

His fingers moved quickly on the screen, and he quickly calculated a series of data, "According to the calculation, the minimum time is three hours, and the fastest time for Joshua's troops to return to the rescue is forty-seven minutes."

"Would you like to continue?"

Armi narrowed his eyes, he pondered for a while, and said, "Let them out when they arrive, avoid fighting as much as possible, and continue to act."

"Yes!"

"At that time, the primary goal of the S1 echelon is the controller, the secondary goal is to destroy the research institute, and the S2 team will give priority to capturing scientific researchers. If not, they will be killed directly without reporting."

"Yes!"

Just as he was speaking, another round of strafing spread down.

Under the cover of the explosive smoke, the invading warships began to divide into scattered rivers, and several echelons flew straight towards the institute.

***

Dongyang proved her special training results and her unique talent for whistle-blowing with practical actions.

Chi Chu is responsible for manipulating the body, and Dongyang is responsible for stabilizing the spirit.

The punches hit the flesh, the knives were precise, and the mecha was close-fitting, with almost no extra movement, and even the maximum load power was not reached.

They managed to knock out all the "civilians" who stood up when the transport arrived at the next stop.

The sound of alarm bells has been heard in the distance.

"There is a platform in front."

Liming was in the control room, coldly watching the police assembled at the platform ready to besiege, and reminded in a deep voice.

What Liming didn't know was that, thanks to Armi's advance team, many of the military forces in the domain responsible for the security of the satellite ball had been transferred to the front line, and the planet had been recruited to the point where only the basic police force remained.

Instead, it made it easier for them to escape.

"I sensed it."

The dense mental network was clearly marked in his mind. Chi Chuyi knocked out the last standing person with a knife and shouted at Liming, "Hey! Is it alright if I take this thing away?"

Liming: "Well, anyway, the movement has already made such a big noise."

"Wait for your words!"

Chi Chu rubbed his hands excitedly, and a powerful mental force overwhelmingly took over the control of public transportation, directly stunning the original driver's mental force.

I saw the bullet-shaped suspension vehicle abruptly strayed from the established track before entering the site, turned a 90-degree bend, and carried a car of people to the sky.

"Ah, it's time."

There was a containment of bullets from below, and Dawn was unmoved. She glanced at the time and muttered to herself.

Every three hours, she would search Gong Qi's memory. This is the most effective way for her to control the overall situation.

She closed her eyes and immersed herself in the endless sea of ​​memories.

The sea fog perfectly descended into the spiritual sea, merged with the liquid, resonated, undulated, and then re-condensed and slowly dispersed.

Dawn opened his eyes.

There was a wave on the blue sea.

She strode out of the driver's compartment.

"Are we sneaking back to Xinggang directly?" Chi Chu asked Dawn, who rushed over, throwing off a group of stalkers.

Li Ming casually said "um" with a serious expression.

She bypassed Chi Chu and stood in front of William King.

"What's wrong?" Chi Chu was puzzled, "Isn't this kid already under anesthesia?"

Liming stretched out his index finger and tapped William's forehead, and a needle-piercing mental force drilled into his spiritual sea.

wedge.

assimilation.

The white mist descends and dissolves in the sea.

The back of the dawn was instantly soaked in cold sweat.

Transfer, transfer, god, Rhodes, transfer, satyr…

Countless nouns filled Dawn's nerves, and they refused to disperse in her ears for a long time as if chanting a spell.

At that moment, Dawn filled his mind with a thought—

Rhodes is Sartre, Sartre is God.

Rhodes wanted to replace "God".

She opened her eyes, and fled from William's thoughts, her feet softened, and she collapsed to the ground.

"Dawn!?" Chi Chu quickly supported her, "Are you all right?"

"No." Dawn shook her head hard and slowly as she felt in her pocket.

Dongyang quickly held her hand: "Okay, okay, I'll help you get what you want."

She felt a small square box.

At dawn's affirmative gesture, Winter Sun opened it.

Inside lay a few white pills.

"...What is this?" Dongyang's intuition is not a good thing.

Dawn closed his eyes and swallowed it, then took out a finger-long syringe from another pocket and stuck it in his arm.

There is no label on the outside, only the transparent liquid inside, which looks like a Sanwu product sold on the black market.

"Sedatives and restoratives."

Liming breathed a sigh of relief, she rubbed her temples, her lips were still white, but her complexion recovered a little.

"Don't worry about me, you quickly get rid of this group of people, we have to go back."

I had long heard that Liming had escaped from Sanxingdui in order to develop intelligence, but Dongyang was still shocked when she saw her swallowing the pills with great side effects.

Although Dawn doesn't act like a child at all, she still has the appearance of a child.

This kind of self-destruction is not inferior to those soldiers who self-destruct.

Dongyang silently looked away—as expected of a maniac like Lui and Angel.

She could never be so cruel to herself in her life.

"Okay." She refocused on getting rid of the pursuit, and after a while, she suddenly remembered and asked, "You just... planted a wedge in his mind?"

Dongyang has experienced it, so she knows it.

But she didn't know what that movement behind the wedge represented.

"Well, that's right." Liming took it vaguely, and suddenly laughed at himself, "I suddenly feel that I'm still… not good at learning."

Dongyang: "?"

Liming just laughed: "It's a shame that I grew up on the 13th, and I haven't been able to figure out a reason for so long..."

"A person's thoughts, beliefs...that kind of thing—after all, selfish genes are at work."

Liming laughed softly, she suddenly turned her head and asked Dongyang: "I ask you, do you have faith?"

Dongyang: "...the kind of religion you mean? Certainly not..."

Afraid that the medicine will eat the brain bad? Dongyang glanced at the medicine box in Dawn's pocket with concern.

"Then why do you think there are so many followers of the Tower of Babel?"

"Of course it's because they believe..." Dong Yang's voice became lower, "Well, no matter how they believe it, the result is the same."

Dawn looked at Dongyang quietly: "The answer is correct."

Dongyang's eyes widened.

"Humans are never robots. Maybe now StarNet can bring people's minds to unity—but before that? Was the indoctrinated mind really that indestructible?"

Dawn remembered the countless oppressions, tortures and countless failed escapes staged in the 13th.

"People believe because they 'they' want to believe."

Dongyang's words sounded plausible, but he didn't realize it.

"What they believe is not what others give them, but what serves their interests—whether material or spiritual—they are firm or their own. External beliefs just provide a suitable environment. ."

It took Dongyang a long time to sort out Dawn's logic.

"You mean...they don't believe in God but in themselves?"

"That's understandable."

Dawn showed a rather wise expression.

"A guess - if you follow this line of thinking, what is their great return calling for?"
