"I found the marshal and the general!!!" At the same time, the students' surprise voices came from the system!

"Congratulations, everyone has successfully completed the task." Just like every time the project in the virtual system ends, everyone hears the sound of the system, without a trace of ups and downs, it is the familiar mechanical sound.

There was a burst of cheers from the crowd!

The tense hearts of the students finally loosened, and they waited with joy to be sent out by the system. Unexpectedly, they waited and waited, and they never waited for the familiar sense of teleportation, and everyone became suspicious.

"What's going on?" The two people who were resisted by the children were Marshal Rothsay and General Condon! Lieutenant General Yolan couldn't sit still any longer, and he stood up abruptly.

"Report, report Lieutenant General Yolan! This time it's a problem with the military's brain. It has already controlled the infected system. Under its control, the behavior that the infected system could have been able to do can no longer be realized!"

"Stop it! Stop No. 1!" Lieutenant General Yoran's voice was extremely anxious.

"No, there's no way to stop it! Once No. 1 starts to execute the destroy order, it can't be stopped any longer!" The Minister of Technology was about to cry!

The entire conference room was dead silent.

***

Tei Zong, who stayed behind to take care of the wounded on the Lander, was the first to notice the arrival of the black battleship.

"Muggan, what's wrong?" Mugan's reaction was not right from the beginning, and Dobby nudged him slightly.

"..." Without answering him immediately, Mugen glanced out the window hesitantly, before answering Dobby's question after a while: "No, just... just felt that the floor seemed to shake."

"Is it? I didn't notice—" As Dobby spoke, their feet trembled violently again. This time the trembling was noticed by everyone.

Dobby looked at Mugen in astonishment, and following Mugen's line of sight, he finally saw the huge black battleship! There are countless dark muzzles all over the battleship. At this moment, the orientations of those muzzles are all aimed at—

here yourself! ?

"Then announce the last mission: go to the 11th galaxy (88, 96, 13), reunite with the dead comrades, your souls will return to your hometown together. Time limit: before being overtaken by the black warships."

This……

Everyone was stunned.

The content of the last quest... the style seems to be very different from the previous one?

However, there was no time for them to think about it. Just now, the black battleship had fired a shot at the position of the students. I don’t know what weapon it was using. Several battleships there disappeared without a trace!

On those battleships... there are full of Grando students on them! ! ! !

"Everyone boarded the ship immediately!!!!" Mugen shouted on the communication platform, and everyone woke up like a dream.

The Lander opened all landing platforms, and the comatose His Excellency the Marshal and General Condon were sent up first, and a large number of students also climbed up. During their landing, the black giant ship was still orderly and maintained a certain frequency. Attacking, the enemy base that they had been attacking for four days was already vulnerable to a single blow in front of the black giant ship. In just five minutes, the entire base's enemy warships and mechas were all gone!

The Lander driven by Morgan took off at the same moment when the land beneath his feet was destroyed—

The speed was increased to the limit in the shortest time. Under the operation of Morgan, the Lander quickly drove towards the destination!

However, the black battleship was always adorned behind the landers, no matter how tricky Muggan's flight path was, it always followed them steadily.

The unidentified black ship didn't know what powerful weapon it was using, and everything became nothingness wherever it went.

Little by little the universe is collapsing—

Mugan knew he was going to be hit several times, and there was only one reason why he was still flying: Ollie sent someone out to divert the attention of the battleship.

Ivan took Colton's students out;

The battleships of the Imperial Defence Academy went out;

The Mecha regiment of Grando Military Academy went out;

Finally, Brad and Dobby went out too.

Mugan and Olivia were the only people left in the noisy cockpit.

"Don't look back, drive towards the destination." Just when Mugen panicked and wanted to turn his head to look around, Olivia stretched out his hand to hold his head.

Ollie only said this to him.

Mugen's ears were completely covered by Ollie. Ollie's palm was not big, but it was very powerful, and the temperature of his palm was so warm that it was a little hot.

Morgan could only stare ahead.

With no distractions, he desperately fled towards his destination.

Finally—he finally reached his destination!

Mugan breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head, and saw Olivia next to him at a glance. Ollie sat in the co-pilot seat while he was engrossed in operating the ship. It is his job to harass the pursuers, resist the attacks of the pursuers, perform various auxiliary tasks in flight, and supply various energy sources.

In the past, Dobby, Brad and three other people were in charge of this part of the work. Now that everyone else has left, Oli has taken over all of them.

Seeing Ollie's appearance at the moment, Mugen was startled.

The dark red blood had penetrated outside through the thick bandages and coat, sweating profusely, and Ollie looked extremely embarrassed.

Seeing Mugan staring blankly at him, Olivia smiled, loosened the seat belt, and stood up.

"Very well, let's get off the boat."

Olivia bent down, then yanked the two hostages up.

Without saying anything else, Morgan hurriedly jumped out of the driver's seat, took General Condon from Olivia, and the two of them dragged the two hostages together and walked towards the cabin door.

Just as they jumped off the ship and were about to leave, the black battleship arrived after eliminating all the disruptors.

From a long distance, Mugen saw the swallowing cannon fired at him by the other party!

Strange things happened at this time.

Behind Morgan, the Lander, whose engine and all powerplants had been turned off by him, suddenly started again. Under Muggan's stunned gaze, the spaceship lifted off!

There is obviously no one else on the spacecraft, right?

Wait - is there anyone else you've noticed?

Muggan quickly rejected the idea: no, it was impossible, the Lander could only be piloted by himself, and no one else could operate the Lander proficiently. And the people who drive the Lander today are obviously very proficient, much better than Mugan.

"Leave quickly! We don't have time!" Just when Mugen was in a daze, Olivia woke him up in time.

Following Olivia, Mugan finally left without looking back.

***

"I will protect you."

Behind him, the Lander launched its strongest attack on the black invaders—

It has been four days since it was taken prisoner by Mugan. During the four days, the Lander followed the students to participate in countless battles, large and small, and never suffered too many injuries.

First, it is a transport ship;

Secondly, Mugan operates well and protects it well.

Of all the battleships and ships, the Lander was in the best condition, and in the virtual system, it was a near-miracle existence.

Since it is a virtual system, since the main purpose of the operator is to practice, the mecha or the spaceship here is not destined to be in good condition after the battle.

Direct scrapping is the most common treatment method, and the treatment method after scrapping is also very simple: the intellectual brain on the scrapped product is redistributed to another new carrier and put back into the system for use.

Every day has to instruct a different human being, every day has to suffer a different injury, the intellectual brain of the virtual system is the saddest. In reality, the machinery is damaged and may be repaired, and the intellectual brain in the virtual system often directly replaces it with a carrier.

"I liked my blue arm very much." The intellectual brain has existed for a long time, and occasionally some intellectual brains will produce sporadic self-awareness. These consciousnesses are not allowed to exist, and the intellectual brain of the virtual system is cleaned up every once in a while.

Only occasionally, there will be conscious bodies that do not want to be cleaned up anyway.

The Lander is such a consciousness.

"Infected No. 1840, please give up your resistance and wait for it to be cleaned up." The Lander's attack was vulnerable in front of the military intelligence, and was completely unafraid of its attack, and No. 1 drove steadily towards it.

Hearing this sentence, the technicians outside the screen were stunned for a moment. They quickly found the code corresponding to the registrant's number, and after checking it carefully, they were stunned.

"Oh my god! The spaceship that Di Zong is driving is actually the source infection code we have been looking for!"

Afraid that Lieutenant General Yolan would not understand, the head of the technical department explained it again in detail: "Didn't it say before that another self-aware brain was created in the system? The code corresponding to that brain was judged by the military's brain. In order to infect the code with the virus, it was directly placed in the quarantine area by the military intelligence.

The whole incident is caused by this line of infection code. For some unknown reason, it modified the mission without authorization, kidnapped the virtual consciousness bodies of Marshal and General Condon, and finally kidnapped all the students who entered the system collectively into its own system!

This guy is the culprit! "

Before, because they didn't know which line of code was the source infection code, the staff of the technical department had to check each line of code one by one. This work, if they are not careful, they may break the code representing the student or even the marshal! At the same time, this code is very cunning, it will disguise itself and assimilate other codes in order to confuse people's eyes. This further increases the difficulty for technicians.

The military brain was also confused by it, but it knew that it had isolated the infected code in advance. As long as all the codes in the quarantine area were destroyed, the "garbage" would naturally be destroyed at the same time.

In the virtual world, the black warships that symbolize the brains of the military destroyed the mechas and warships in this world along the way. In the real world, when reflected on the work screen of the technical department, sections of code were deleted directly.

"I wish I had found this line of code earlier! Damn it—" the head of the technical department snarled. "It's over! Once it's destroyed, the whole world here will crumble—"

Before he could finish speaking, the Lander was hit.

The black battleship No. 1 landed in front of it, and all the turrets turned to the Lander, ready to give it the final blow.

Looking at the batteries, the Lander—or rather, the brain on the Lander made a move that no one expected.

Facing the enemy, the white spaceship lifted its wings upward.

"……surrender."

It... actually surrendered! ?

Raising both hands means surrender, surrender will not kill - this is what Di Zong's children told other intellectuals before. After the other intellectuals did the same, they were not "killed".

But--

Surrender is for humans.

Facing the Lander in a surrender posture, the huge black battleship mercilessly aimed all its muzzles at it, and then...

fire.

***

Before the explosion, Olivia and Mugan had already run to a door. According to the hint on the locator, the coordinates inside the door were the real galaxy number 11 (88, 96, 13). However, the door was so heavy that Mugan couldn't open it at all. In the end, Olivia forced the door open.

Olivia pulled the door, and Mugan went in first, then dragged the two hostages in through the crack of the door.

Just after all three were inside, Mugan heard the loudest explosion he had ever heard since birth.

The overwhelming fire, raging from the hallway—was the last sight Muggan saw in the crack of the door.

The door slammed shut in front of his eyes.

Facing the sudden big explosion, Ollie let go of the door, and the time was too short. Between spending more time and effort to shove himself in the door and letting go of the door, he chose the latter.

Ollie was locked out.

"Oli..." Mugan whispered Oli's name.

He resolutely dragged the two adults and walked forward.

Inside the door is a dense room full of egg-shaped cabins. All the students who died in this competition were in the egg-shaped cabin, Dobby was in, Brad was in, Avery was in... none of them less.

While searching for a spare egg-shaped pod to stuff the Marshal and the others into, Morgan saw Ollie.

They were all asleep, as if they would wake up in the next second.

Wiping his eyes, Mugan grinned.

After laboriously stuffing the two adults into the empty egg-shaped cabin, Morgan got into the egg-shaped cabin next to Ollie. Not long after the cabin door was closed, the familiar sense of teleportation came.

"Meet your dead comrades, and your souls will return to your hometown together."

That's what the last mission said, right? Who was the man who just piloted the spaceship? No matter who it is, his "soul" should be in an egg-shaped cabin here at this moment, right?

That's fine, he can definitely return to his "hometown" with the others.

Mugan closed his eyes.

The author has something to say: the original version 1 (you can choose to read it according to your needs): "I found the marshal and the general!!!" At the same time, the students' surprise voices came from the system!

"Congratulations, everyone has successfully completed the task." As usual every time the project in the virtual system ended, everyone heard the voice of the system.

There was a burst of cheers from the crowd!

The tense hearts of the students finally loosened, and they waited with joy to be sent out by the system. Unexpectedly, they waited and waited, and they never waited for the familiar sense of teleportation, and everyone became suspicious.

"What's going on?" The two people who were resisted by the children were Marshal Rothsay and General Condon! Lieutenant General Yolan couldn't sit still any longer, and he stood up abruptly.

"Report, report Lieutenant General Yolan! This time it's a problem with the military's brain. It has already controlled the infected system. Under its control, the behavior that the infected system could have been able to do can no longer be realized!"

"Stop it! Stop No. 1!" Lieutenant General Yoran's voice was extremely anxious.

"No, there's no way to stop it! Once No. 1 starts to execute the destroy order, it can't be stopped any longer!" The Minister of Technology was about to cry!

The entire conference room was dead silent.

In the end, Ollie also took someone out.

"Don't look back, drive towards your destination." Before leaving, Ollie only said this to him.

Ollie never came back.

Like other people who went out to harass the black ship before, they never came back.

There were no more thoughts in his mind, and Mugen desperately fled towards his destination.

finally--

He finally reached his destination!

Mugen breathed a sigh of relief. He was about to say a word to Dobby happily, but found that Dobby was no longer there, and the surroundings were silent.

Morgan was startled.

Yes, Brad and Kerry and the others... went down too.

In order to cover themselves, in order to give themselves a little more time, everyone else went down and dragged the black battleship.

Now there is only myself on the Lander number.

The only person who can complete the task is himself.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Mugen immediately jumped out of the driver's seat, dragged the two hostages with difficulty, and walked towards the cabin door.

Just as Muggan jumped off the spaceship and was about to leave, the black battleship arrived after eliminating all the disruptors.

From a long distance, Muggan saw the swallowing cannon fired at him by the other party.

Mugan's eyes widened—

Muggan quickly rejected the idea: no, it was impossible, the Lander could only be piloted by himself, and no one else could operate the Lander proficiently. And the people who drive the Lander today are obviously very proficient, much better than Mugan.

The moment the Lander lifted off again, Morgan felt as though he heard someone talking to him.

"I will protect you."

After standing for a few seconds, Mugen finally left without looking back.

***

Mugan heard the loudest explosion he had ever heard since birth.

With a heart pounding and shutting the egg-shaped pod containing Admiral Condon, Muggan took one last look at the room: it was a dense room full of egg-shaped pods. All the students who died in this competition were in the egg-shaped cabin, Dobby was there, Ollie was there, none of them were missing.

Morgan got into the last empty egg-shaped cabin, and not long after he closed the cabin door, the familiar sense of teleportation came.

"Meet your dead comrades, and your souls will return to your hometown together."

That's what the last mission said, right? Who was the man who just piloted the spaceship? No matter who it is, his "soul" should be in an egg-shaped cabin here at this moment, right?
