To be honest, after hearing Felim's rhetorical question, Zhang Yi really had murderous intentions.
But he suddenly realized a problem. He had been pretending to be ignorant, and even Lilin, who often dated him, hadn't noticed it until now. How did this Felim know so much?
Is it true that as Wang Fugui said, Philim is a strange man who knows everything and is omnipotent?
So Zhang Yi quietly put away his murderous intention, and then said: "Indeed, I am pretending to be confused, but aren't you also wary of me? We are mutually exclusive, and no one should blame anyone else.
"
Hearing this, Felim said: "I agree with this, but what I want to say is that sometimes you think too badly about things and people, which is not a good thing."
Zhang Yi smiled: "Isn't that exactly what you mean by 'golden mean'? If I were a pure person who values love and righteousness and has no authority, wouldn't I become a chess piece in your hands?
At your mercy?"
Philim: "Then you think too highly of yourself. In fact, in my eyes, you have always been a pawn, whether you realize it or not."
Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment, then said in a cold voice: "Do you really think I don't dare to kill you?"
Philim asked: "Even if you dare, can you do it?"
I want to sound arrogant when I say this.
Zhang Yi prides himself on not being as powerful as he once was, but if he uses his trump card, he really doesn't have to worry about encountering enemies he can't deal with.
Especially the Philim in front of him, most of his body is prosthetic, and it is civilian grade.
What's more, they were standing so close to each other. Even if there were top experts hiding around him to protect him, Zhang Yi could still kill him in a matter of milliseconds as long as he was fast enough.
But why doesn't Philim look scared at all?
His tone was calm, not like he was mocking Zhang Yi, but more like he was stating a fact.
There is really no such thing as surrender in Zhang Yi's character, but he is not reckless.
Seeing that the other party was not timid, Zhang Yi said: "You are not actually here, are you?"
Felim laughed when he heard this: "I didn't expect you to be quite smart. I believe you are used to such little tricks."
When Zhang Yi heard this, he felt relieved and cursed secretly: 'Old fox! I almost believed it!'
Since the real Felim was not here, Zhang Yi was too lazy to fight with him, and said directly: "I won't argue with you, but you also have to listen to me clearly. If you want me, Zhang Yi, to come forward,
When managing Hong Yan, don't even think about giving me orders directly, otherwise, all your plans will definitely go out of control, and by then, it will be too late for you to regret it."
This is not Zhang Yi's intention to scare Ferim.
Felim was also very self-aware. He nodded and said: "Don't worry, what I just said is neither a provocation nor a threat, but just a fact to tell you the truth, so that you can understand me better.
In addition... Wang Fugui will be responsible for Hong Yan's various chores from now on and will not take the initiative to contact you again, and I will take his place and work with you on major issues."
After hearing this, Zhang Yi said: "Oh? If that's the case...then can you tell me...what happened to Wang Fugui? How did he turn from a gambler to a dog-headed strategist overnight?"
Felim couldn't help but laugh when he heard Zhang Yi's evaluation of Wang Fugui's "dog-headed military advisor". After thinking about it, he said: "It's actually very simple. As long as he is willing to hand over the neuron core, and then I will modify it, it will be fine."
Overnight, a gambler turned into the rich king you see now."
Zhang Yi understood, but his impression of Felim dropped a bit in his heart.
You know, there are three most despicable things in the world today.
One is to use Turaya to create replicas to extend life.
The second is to tamper with other people's memories.
And the third thing is to open up the human neuron core and add a new idea.
All three of these are completely against the bottom line of human ethics... In Zhang Yi's opinion, they are all the most shameless behaviors.
So...even though Felim specially emphasized the word "voluntary", Zhang Yi still didn't like the guy in front of him very much.
"Okay, I understand, then... now that Hong Yan has been established, what are your next plans?" Zhang Yi asked.
After hearing this, Felim threw the question back: "I should ask you this. After all, you are Hong Yan's number one talker, and I am at best a master."
Zhang Yi was startled when he heard this, and then nodded. He had actually thought of this for a long time, but he was just a little hesitant.
"If you ask me... I am going to resign as a guard of the Bai family, and then build a dungeon under Percival as Hong Yan's headquarters. At the same time, I will contact the major domes and spread the influence as far as possible.
Corners, then dividing lines and dividing points to establish a management layout, and then sit in the center to decide the next step." After Zhang Yi finished speaking, he looked at Felim and said: "What do you think?"
Felim thought for a while and nodded: "Although there is nothing new, it focuses on infrastructure construction, which is good. However, thinking about branching out from the beginning is too eager for success, and it is easy to absorb
There are some unstable factors...so my idea is to shrink the layout a little more to ensure that the overall situation is controllable."
"Shrink again? To where?"
"In Percival, we must at least ensure that we do not expand outward for two years."
Zhang Yi thought about it carefully and nodded: "Okay, but contacting the forces in other domes must be promoted as soon as possible, and it must be completed in a short period of time."
Philim: "I agree with this, but the seven major families are not fools, let alone Lusteven.
The family and the Han family are two special entities. If we don’t have enough leverage, there will be no way to talk about contact."
Zhang Yi sneered and said: "Don't worry about this, I have prepared the bargaining chips. It just depends on how you use your sharp tongue to persuade them."
Felim was stunned, he really didn't know this, but he quickly guessed what the chips Zhang Yi was talking about were.
"Did you catch Cui Jingrui?" Felim asked.
Zhang Yi said calmly: "You're right, but sometimes don't act so smart, because it's too annoying."
Felim paused after hearing this, and then smiled: "What you are reminding me is that it is just Cui Jingrui and the bit of base liquid in his hand. Isn't such a bargaining chip too light?"
Zhang Yi did not explain any more, but said: "Whether it is light or heavy, it doesn't matter whether you or I say it. It's up to them to weigh it themselves."
Philim also wanted to say something.
Zhang Yi waved his hand: "Okay, if you really want me to host the Hong Banquet, you must remember your identity. If not, then I will continue to be my bodyguard."
Ferim was speechless for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, I will make arrangements."
"Um……"
…
One month later.
Deep in the Ogu Ocean, in the center of a crescent-shaped island group, the flagship of the Interstellar Army, the King, has been anchored here for more than ten days.
Within ten days, Weir-class battleships took off and landed from the Sovereign's deployment platform one after another. The lights on all the surrounding islands that served as shipyards were kept on day and night, and a large amount of supplies were transported to the Sovereign.
Looking at the busy scene in the distance, Qin Ke was enjoying the sea breeze and fishing, quite leisurely.
After not seeing each other for a few months, the little girl seems to have tanned a lot, but she is still beautiful and has a more wild air.
Fishing with her on the coast was a middle-aged uncle.
The uncle was dressed very casually, with holes in his undershirt, and he looked quite shabby.
But he didn't care at all. Instead, he thought it was beautiful and would stare at his biceps from time to time.
Such a comfortable life is really enviable.
When Nan Yingjian arrived at the entrance of Interstellar Army Base No. 1 by special plane, the sky was clear and clear.
Overlooking the entire Base No. 1 from an altitude of 10,000 meters, you can clearly see the King and the islands around it that look like the teeth of a giant sea monster.
On the bridge, along with Nan Yingjian, there were Yincheng and a group of other Border Defense Force officers who came to the base to visit and express their condolences.
It was the first time for many of these people to leave the bitter cold land of northern Xinjiang, so when they saw the blue sea and blue sky, you can imagine their excitement.
However, Nan Yingjian rolled her eyes at this and whispered quietly: "Oh, it's not like a bunch of country bumpkins have never sunbathed on the 'beach'! It's really... embarrassing!"
Yincheng stood with her and naturally heard clearly. He smiled and said: "How can the 'beach' you mentioned be the same as this real beach? Just like when we first arrived in Percival, we saw the heavy snow in the sky.
Yes, aren’t you also clamoring to build a snowman?”
Nan Yingjian's pretty face turned red when she heard this, and she immediately raised her fist and gave Yincheng a "hard blow".
Yincheng screamed in pain, then smiled and said: "We'll land soon, let's just enjoy the holiday."
Nan Yingjian nodded, the excitement in her eyes getting hotter.
…
Diving from a height of 100 meters without any auxiliary equipment! Walking on the seabed at a depth of 30 meters for fifteen minutes! Wearing a mechanical exoskeleton on the beach for a unique super basketball game!
This group of condolences from the Border Guard Force went completely crazy!
Qi Xuan didn't mind this at all, but the leader of the team was a little embarrassed and felt that his subordinates were a bit "shameful".
After a day of trouble, the Interstellar Army even held an outdoor barbecue party for friends from the north.
This is simply a gluttonous feast for Nan Yingjian who loves to watch beauties and handsome men.
As usual, Tiegeda Yincheng was only interested in barbecue, but his strong figure still attracted many girls from the Star Army.
Yincheng, who is not good at coping, is actually more afraid of being "sieged" by girls than falling into the alien nest.
He asked Nan Yingjian for help, but Nan Yingjian turned a blind eye and said, "Enjoy tonight!" and walked away.
…
After leaving the lively coast, Nan Yingjian saw many couples and people in love at the relatively quiet beach. However, she was not here to peep, but to see someone off.
This person is Lu Xiaohang.
Speaking of the first encounter between Nan Yingjian and Lu Xiaohang, we have to go back to the year when the Border Defense Force was first established.
The arrival of Victory Day is undoubtedly a great blessing for all mankind.
But people like Lu Xiaohang, who lost everything after the Center Veil incident, don't feel that the world has changed much after Victory Day.
Not only did he lose his family, he even lost his identity.
No one in this world knows who he is or that he is still alive. Only he knows his name.
These people are different from the sojourners in that they cannot be accepted into the dome simply because they lack sufficient evidence of their existence.
So most of these people chose to join the free people, and only a handful chose to survive alone.
Lu Xiaohang is one of these very few people.
When Nan Yingjian's 7th Legion of the Border Guard selected the location of the frontline military base, they accidentally found Lu Xiaohang deep in the abandoned castle.
At that time, he had been living alone in the darkness underground for two years.
Lu Xiaohang, who has not had contact with society for two years, has almost lost his ability to speak, but he still dresses himself appropriately. Even if he is alone, he can live like a human being in this dark underground.
So Nan Yingjian kept him by her side and took care of him as a younger brother.
In the past few years, Lu Xiaohang has slowly rediscovered his "identity".
Not only did he successfully pass the Border Defense Force's assessment and become an excellent soldier, he also taught himself basic mathematical codes and other knowledge, and successfully passed the A11 exam.
When she heard that her younger brother had passed the A11 exam, Nan Yingjian was both happy and sad.
Because she realized it was time to say goodbye.
It seems that I just left the Border Guard, but the journey of life is more tragic than imagined... After getting off the bus at this stop, it is not just a matter of time to meet again.
Especially when Nan Yingjian heard that Lu Xiaohang had been selected to be a member of the 11th Project, she, a person who never took vacations all year round, took the initiative to apply to organize condolence work.
This is also the first time the Border Guard Force has visited an interstellar military base since its establishment.
…
"When will you leave?" Nan Yingjian asked a question that had no answer.
Lu Xiaohang said nothing. He was accustomed to following Nan Yingjian instead of walking side by side as before.
Nan Yingjian smiled bitterly, then turned around and said, "Why is it you? Aren't there three people who passed the final assessment? Why is it you?"
Lu Xiaohang understood what Nan Yingjian meant. After being silent for a while, he said: "Interstellar travel is very dangerous, and it is difficult for non-professionals to adapt, so... combined with comprehensive considerations, they feel that as a border guard, I should be more capable than the other two.
Suitable for Plan 11.”
This was not the answer Nan Yingjian wanted to hear, but she also knew Lu Xiaohang's temper.
This kid is so upright, even better than the elm bump in Yincheng... So sometimes Nan Yingjian is also very strange, what is going on with him, and why do the people he really cares about have such attributes.
Seeing Nan Yingjian looking at him silently, Lu Xiaohang seemed a little nervous. After thinking about it, he said: "This plan takes a long time, but a group of personnel will be awakened every once in a while. As one of the main core maintenance personnel, I
One, there will be one day every month when I am awake, and I will write to my sister at that time."
Writing a letter is just a romantic way of saying it.
With current communication technology, even if Lu Xiaohang is 7.9 light-years away, it is not impossible to complete real-time communication with Nan Yingjian. However, doing so would be extremely costly and could easily expose the route of Plan 11.
.
That’s why the term “writing a letter” came into being.
Through multiple encrypted serial letters, they will slowly travel the distance between each other, and then send the care and greetings between the lines to relatives and friends far away.
Nan Yingjian's eyes turned red when she heard this, and then she came over and hugged Lu Xiaohang.
Lu Xiaohang was a little at a loss. Although he was nominally Nan Yingjian's younger brother, this was the first time for him to have such close contact.
But it doesn't seem as strange as imagined.
So Lu Xiaohang slowly put down his arm and hugged Nan Yingjian.
"I will miss you." Nan Yingjian said.
Lu Xiaohang's heart trembled when he heard this, and then said softly: "Yeah."
…
September 1, 136.
Zhang Yi and Nie Renhuan were sitting in the middle of a luxurious banquet hall, drinking wine and smoking expensive cigars.
The banquet hall was littered with corpses, and the survivors were gathered together and handed over to Hua Yuanming for disposal. The remaining cold bodies were all burned to the ground after Zhang Yi drank a glass of wine and threw away his cigar.
Flames filled the sky.
Almost at the same time, inside the first military base of the Interstellar Army, five Zhanyu VII-type star field voyage ships took off into the sky, and they drew a bright white light in the southern sky.
11 project officially launched.
That night, when Zhang Yi returned to his residence, he found that someone was already lying on the bed in the bedroom.
But this one looked very fierce. Her damaged prosthetic body was still burning, and half of her face was torn into pieces.
After Zhang Yi entered the room, he took off his coat, adjusted his cuffs, and walked over and said, "Besides asking you to kill me, did Chu Yunlan say anything else?"
"No……"
"Well... I thought she would leave a way out for you, but it turns out she just asked you to die." Zhang Yi walked over with a smile and sat down by the bed.
"Huh...how valuable do you think I am?" The woman has no way out, so it doesn't matter.
Zhang Yi sighed and said, "Your name is Angelica, right?"
The woman said nothing.
"Is this your real name?"
"Um……"
"Let's do this, Anji... I don't have to kill you, or I can give you a way to live, but you have to be absolutely loyal to me from now on, otherwise, I can only throw you out and throw you to the factory for demolition."
Angelica, who failed in the assassination operation, is now a pile of dismantled scrap metal, so she sneered: "Absolutely loyal? If I choose to betray Chu Yunlan and follow you, will you really believe me?
Absolute loyalty?"
Zhang Yi smiled and said: "This is easy to handle. Just put your heart in mine and share a neuron with me. That's it, right?"
Angelica was stunned: "What did you say?"
Zhang Yi lowered his head, put his hand on the remaining half of her pretty face and said, "I believe you have heard clearly, so... now just tell me whether you agree or disagree."
