Chapter 66 Save yourself?

The military does not have so many customer service staff to provide external services. When parents cannot get through on the phone, they post their questions online, then curse, and then continue to try to call.

Vicious circle.

More and more people are joining the online discussions, and various voices are emerging.

However, in the face of external doubts, the military only gave a standard response, saying that the army has dispatched all its forces to the scene of the incident to provide support, and the public can pay attention to notifications on the official website at any time.

The army seemed calm on the surface, but an emergency meeting was held internally.

Five generals sat at a virtual round table, and behind them were several former generals who held important positions in the military.

They argued for a long time about the support issue. The collective attack of the Zerg was itself strange, and now there were spies interfering.

They all smelled a lot of danger factors.

One of the reasons is that a traitor appeared in the human race and cooperated with the Zerg. How they reached this cooperation, whether the humans came to them or the Zerg took the initiative to join forces with humans, needs to be investigated.

Second, human society is about to be infiltrated by insect people, which is a nightmare.

As the battle begins, the number of casualties is rising, and filling the vacancies subsequently will be a major challenge, but we will not mention this for now.

What we should discuss now is the issue of support and coming up with an effective way to deal with the Matrix and the Zerg warriors.

One of the generals said, "I can only support one place at most, and I'm already on the way."

There are only one or two soldiers in each base who can fight against the Zerg warriors, but fighting does not mean they can be killed.

Even a general would be exhausted after a battle, and it would be difficult for him to support a second place.

The number of attacked locations was counted, and there were ten locations in total. All ten bases were attacked by more than one mother body and insect warriors.

In one place, there are as many as five mothers.

If we want to keep casualties under control, we have to deploy generals like them.

The key is that there are only five admirals.

How to allocate is a problem.

"I've received news that Mechanical Planet 022 no longer needs support. They have already dealt with the mothership and the warriors."

"So fast?"

"Congratulations to General Bai. The Bai family has produced another god of war."

The middle-aged man whose face was somewhat similar to Colonel Bai couldn't help but reveal a look of relief.

"Don't praise me. In that case, my soldiers and I will change our route. Since they can defeat the Matrix and the Zerg warriors in such a short time, it won't be a problem for them to deal with other Zerg." Admiral Bai cleared his throat twice. In another five years, he would be able to retire.

Stepping down does not mean retiring.

Each admiral does not serve for very long. They represent the peak of human strength. When their physical functions decline and they are no longer qualified for the position of admiral, they have to retire and do other jobs.

The position of admiral cannot be filled by just having good mecha driving skills, it also requires brains and courage.

If any of them is missing, we won’t be able to defeat the Zerg warriors.

General Bai had a successor, which was a relief for him. The Bai family had always been upright in the army and had offended many people. If no one took up the position of general, they would definitely be retaliated against.

After the secret joy, we still have to face serious problems.

The plan was quickly finalized at the conference table.

Lieutenant General Bai, who was far away on the 022 Mechanical Planet, received news from his superiors that because he had solved the biggest problem, Admiral Bai went to provide support elsewhere.

Lieutenant General Bai: He is still waiting for the general to "take the blame" in the future and cover up Su Xiaocai's scandal.

As a result, he slipped away halfway over here.

……

The warship carrying the students rushed towards Huang Yangxing at full speed.

Sailing in the silent space, the students felt something was wrong.

In the control room, more than fifty soldiers were knocked unconscious and tied up. Most of them were recruits who accepted the orders without knowing what was going on and became the spies' battleship launchers.

As for the three spies, they stood in front of the console with their arms folded, staring at the monitor.

As they watched the students gather together and move to the training ground, their expressions were full of suspicion.

"What should I do? Some students have begun to doubt."

"It's okay. Let's hold on. Let's first lie to them and say we are using an unfamiliar route for concealment."

"I can't keep it a secret for long. The students at Junpei and Junya are all smart."

"Don't panic. Their lives depend on us. The control room has a weapon-proof intrusion prevention system."

The three spies had to pretend to be calm and stare at the route gradually approaching Huang Yang Star.

Students from three schools gathered in the battleship's training ground.

They were indeed wondering why the instructor didn't come with them and the signals were gone.

Students are not easy to fool. Xue Huiyi was the "first" person to discover that there was a problem with the warship. She raised the question when the warship was halfway through its voyage, so everyone started a discussion with her as the center.

"If there is really a problem with this battleship, where is our destination?"

"Senior Xue, since you can bring it up, you must have some ideas."

Xue Huiyi certainly knew where the three spies were taking them, but she had no evidence and couldn't just fool them.

"There are only a few options: Huangyang Star, the Star Belt, or simply using us as a threat...

Someone interrupted, "Huangyang Star, right? Isn't this easy to analyze? We are not on the normal route now, and we don't see other warships. This is not the route to the Star Fragmentation Belt. I am familiar with the star map, and from the planets I see outside the ship, I know it is probably heading towards Huangyang Star."

Then someone asked, "So what? Didn't the notice we received say we were going to Huangyang Star?"

"There must be soldiers over there. If we fight them all and don't leave the warship, we'll be safe."

"You underestimate the bugs. There are so many humans here. Do you think they will wait for the soldiers to rescue us before attacking? Besides, our warship is in signal shielding mode. They can send us to the 'execution ground' without anyone noticing."

Without a signal, it would be difficult for them to call for help, and it would be too late by the time the warship arrived at Huangyang Star.

"I just don't believe it. There are so many people here and no one told the instructor."

It popped up suddenly and made everyone emo, but they didn’t have it, they really didn’t have it.

They had just seen Ji Heng and others earning points every day, so how could they suppress their excitement? They had dreamed of going to Huangyang Star, so they boarded the battleship without thinking.

"I didn't ask the instructor."

"Neither do I. We'll go wherever the mission tells us to go."

There were so many people walking together at that time, and because of the herd mentality, it was difficult to realize that something was wrong.

At first, they all sat in their seats, but then they gradually felt something was wrong.

It was very strange that there was no instructor following them and they were not allowed to move around freely.

Normally, when they go to Huangyang Star, they should at least be allowed to come into contact with the mecha first, and the logistics personnel should be on high alert.

None of these preparatory steps were taken, and not even the school doctor showed up.

What's even more outrageous is that they sneaked out for a stroll and there was no one else around except them.

The focus on Xue Huiyi was slowly shifted away, and Xue Huiyi said, "The most important thing for us now is how to save ourselves."

"Yes, let's first confirm our current location. Even if we go to Huangyang Star, we need to know our approximate coordinates to facilitate rescue."

"Yeah." Xue Huiyi raised the communicator, wanting to say that she had been keeping the route recorder on since she left the base, so she could trace back the route.

As a result, a student answered quickly: "I know, let me tell you. When I was having supper, I heard Su Xiaocai mention that when people receive a mission in a daze, they must remember to open the communicator map and the navigation record, so that they can confirm their position."

The channel recording function is a boon for those who are blind to directions. The records equipped on warships will be more comprehensive.

Just retrace your steps and you will be back where you started.

This technology of the communicator cannot be used for a long time because it consumes too much energy. It is only charged once every six months. As a result, once it is turned on, the energy limit is three days.

So few people remember this function.

Xue Huiyi's expression changed slightly. Su Xiaocai's figure was everywhere, haunting her.

He all died on Huangyang Star, why mention a dead person.

In the previous life, due to untimely rescue, there were only a few students left.

This battleship will eventually dock on the waterway of Huangyang Star and be invaded by Zerg people.

The only students who survived were Ji Heng, Hu Ping and a few passers-by.

Wu Qingqing and Wu Feiyang are both dead.

After the insect warriors of Huangyang Star ate the people and the deputy general of a city, they became so powerful that they even affected the 022 Mechanical Planet.

The reason why Xue Huiyi chose this warship far away from the normal route was to kill two birds with one stone, to make merit while avoiding a big battle with the insect team.

"Senior Xue, do you have any suggestions?" The others called out three or four times in a row. Xue Huiyi pulled herself back to her senses and smiled apologetically, "I was just thinking about something." "It's okay, do you have any plans?" After thinking for so long, she must be able to think of a way out.

"The biggest problem now is that even if the instructors find out we are missing, they don't know where we are." I used to hear on the news that students died because the military was too busy to take care of them.

Xue Huiyi only now understood that it was not that the military had no time to take care of them, but that they simply didn't know where they were.

But the words “students were deceived and taken away from Mechanical Planet 022” could not appear in the news, as it was too embarrassing, so the information was concealed and only the statement that the rescue was not timely was made.

There isn't much time left for her.

She couldn't stay on the battleship, the plan had already been made.

The students surrounding her showed expectant expressions. They needed a backbone, not someone who could give advice but someone who could take responsibility.

Xue Huiyi: "Do you have mechas? Can you take them out? Let's make sure our mechas can be used first to ensure our military strength."

"We can't take the mecha out from here."

"Everyone, make way, we'll make room for you."

The students squeezed aside, a mecha appeared in the open space, and the man tried to start the mecha.

The startup was started, but the safe cabin did not respond and he could not enter the safe cabin.

"what happened?"

Xue Huiyi said: "The other party is on guard against us driving the mecha away."

Very reasonable explanation.

But the logistics students in the crowd looked at each other in bewilderment. Teacher Liang had recently given a lecture to the instructors, and some of them had attended. It was about how to deal with situations when the signal was blocked.

"That should be fine. We have prepared blocking tools so we can open it manually."

"Teacher Liang is really foresighted. He taught this lesson just before leaving." In principle, the safety cabin cannot be opened from the outside, so it can resist the insect people for a period of time.

But you can't be too drastic in everything, you need to leave a way out.

The blocking tool is a special device used to open the safety cabin. When pressed in the correct position, it can cut off the power supply of the safety cabin, cut off the alarm, and open it manually.

Teachers in school generally don’t teach this, and they tacitly let students learn through practice.

Just yesterday, Teacher Liang couldn't help but talk about the related courses.

Naturally, it was all Su Xiaocai's foresight. Two days before she set off, she mentioned to Sister Liang during dinner that some soldiers lacked knowledge in this area, and perhaps she could talk about it while teaching other knowledge.

There are now hundreds of models of safety cabins and more blocking tools. Su Xiaocai believes that it is necessary to standardize these tools.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for a maintenance engineer who goes to the battlefield to rescue people to carry dozens of different blockers. Instead of spending time searching for them, it would be better to standardize the specifications of a few models.

Only when soldiers and maintenance technicians pay attention to this aspect can they promote standardization in this area.

Teacher Liang also thought it made sense, so he gave this lesson.

Xue Huiyi almost couldn't breathe. Why did Teacher Liang suddenly talk about this processing technology?

I had a bad feeling in my heart. I wonder if my rare military achievement will be wasted.

No! She is a reborn being, has foresight, and can seize the opportunity first.

Xue Huiyi barely managed to calm down after her fingers pinched her arms until they turned red. She kept smiling and said, "I looked at the flight map and guessed that the people in the control room wanted to take us to Huangyang Star, not to kill us. We will arrive at Huangyang Star in less than two hours. We need someone to notify the base to rescue us. Right!"

Correct.

But it was as good as saying nothing, they just wanted to hear the specific plans.

So the students started talking at once and changed the topic again.
"Honestly, what are they going through all this trouble for?"

"We are just students. If they want to take us hostage, a few dozen people would be enough. There are nearly 10,000 people in the three schools combined."

"Don't guess at perverted thoughts."

"We are all just guessing, how about we go check out the situation in the control room?"

"Try to restore the signal. It's safer to contact the base."

"..."

Xue Huiyi was annoyed and asked them to stop. "My mecha has a jammer. It will not affect the operation of the safety cabin. We can set off immediately."

Xue Huiyi's followers echoed loudly, "Really?" Can she go with him? On the battleship, it will be over sooner or later.

"Yes, but I need someone to attract the attention of those in the control room while I leave through the ejection channel and report to where there is a signal."

This plan was immediately accepted by everyone.

As for how to attract the attention of the control room, of course, it is to cause sabotage.

There are thousands of them, but only a few in the control room.

Xue Huiyi is very confident in her plan.

But here, only Xue Huiyi installed a jammer and could take action immediately.

"Huihui, do you really want to leave alone?"

"I can follow you and take care of you." The follower said quickly.

Xue Huiyi's teammates also didn't want her to leave alone, they really didn't want her to leave because they were worried about what would happen if she encountered an accident.

"Don't worry about me, I will bring reinforcements soon, just be careful." Xue Huiyi said righteously, but she didn't want others to share her credit. At this time, she went alone to a place with a signal to send a message. Such a small thing, if she publicized it afterwards, she would get a lot of attention.

Many students were deeply moved.

They didn't have time to make detailed plans, so they made rough and direct plans.

Some people created chaos to divert the attention of those in the control room.

Another group of people assisted the students in opening the mecha safety cabin and restoring firepower.

Finally, it was Xue Huiyi who avoided surveillance and went to outer space, away from the shielding of the warship, to send a distress signal

Xue Huiyi suggested leaving the matter of creating chaos to her teammates, "You can trust them, they have some command experience."

Being entrusted with such an important task by Xue Huiyi, the two male teammates held their heads high and said modestly, "That little bit of experience is not worth mentioning."

The students did not know that the so-called command experience was actually just volunteering and leading a team to the disaster-stricken areas to command the disaster relief work.

It’s different from battlefield command.

Time was running out, and Xue Huiyi said they could be trusted, so they didn't ask any further questions.

Act on the plan now.

Inside the control room, the three were watching the surveillance video. When they saw the students split up and started to act, they knew something bad was going to happen.

They have been quarantined on the battleship, but they are still not obedient.

Some students went to the power room to see if they could stop the power of the battleship, some went to dismantle the overhead wires, and some went directly to the control room to break down the door.

Xue Huiyi's teammates were responsible for breaking into the control room. He asked the people on the team to shout into the camera, first giving a warning, and then breaking down the door. They must smash their way out and not let Xue Huiyi down.

Among the people in the team, there were a few shrewd and clear-headed ones who felt that the temporary command was a bit reckless. They did not think that the door of the control room could be smashed open at will.

If it were easy to break open, the pirates would not just steal civilian ships, as warships are the most valuable.

So this group of people stood at the corner of the corridor leading to the control room and waited for a while.

Those people didn't think about whether they could achieve merit or not. Facing enemies of unknown strength, they chose to be cautious and save their lives.

"Warning, warning, warning. If you take one more step forward, the defense countermeasure system will strike back."

"What system?" The student who was trying to crack the control room was unable to react for a moment, and the area around the door of the control room showed its "fangs".

Many weapons protruded from the walls, pointed at the students' heads.

The student's face turned pale.

Xue Huiyi's male teammate raised his shield and said, "Don't panic, we also have defensive shields."

"You insist on doing what you want, so don't blame us for being rude." The person in the control room directly admitted that he had any ill intentions.

This sentence aroused the students' blood, "We also take out the weapons and dismantle them. They sent us to Huangyang Star, they must have bad intentions, we might as well interrupt their plan from here."

Without elders behind them, the hot-headed students wanted to fight back.

The expressions of the three spies in the control room were difficult to read. Although they were spies, they had never thought of killing people with their own hands.

"What should we do? If we take action, public opinion will be unfavorable to us."

"Once we made the decision to hold the students hostage, there was no turning back. Our mission was to send the students to Huangyang Star to fight, so that the people could see that their protectors could not protect the people. Pushing the students to the front line was a wrong decision.

There is hope only if there is a new world, a new system, and the creation of a new god.”

Their worldview is so distorted that even ten cows can’t pull it back.

The brainwashing of pyramid schemes is very obvious.
