Chapter 669 The Death of the Philosopher Morris
He recalled the shape of the three "smart cores", and suddenly found that if they were put together, there would be a circular hole in the center, roughly... the same diameter as the ball in front of him.
He glanced back at Roy, and found that two nurses, mm, were waking up. The test report sent by Emma showed that there was no serious problem, but it was just because of overwork, which caused drowsiness.
There is a blue light flickering on his wrist.
In the next breath, the ray of light fell from the sky, breaking the rectangular transparent cabin.
The light matrix on the ceiling flickered a few times, and the electric light from the Mitsubishi drone flew across his pupils.
There was a layer of cyan light attached to his palm, which directly penetrated into the shattered transparent cabin, and caught the ball in the palm of his hand.
Those Mitsubishi drones tried to attack the intruders, but Tang Fang flipped back with his other arm, a blue light flashed, accompanied by piercing noises, and instantly turned into a pile of broken parts on the ground.
Under the impact of the super-energy electron beam, the ball on his other hand radiated purple bands of light like ostentatious ribbons, which flowed out from the gaps between his fingers and floated into the sky.
The binary strings flowed through, winding out a flying data matrix, surrounding him, looking like silky bright purple silk wings from a distance.
The interface of the four clans in my mind dimmed again, and the cursor flickered.
"."
", restart, ok!"
"..."
"s..."
"...12%...41%...62%...75%...99%..."
"release."
"w!"
"..."
Logos reignite, systems return.
He sank his consciousness into the human base and landed on one.
No new buildings are unlocked.
The 3 "smart chips" respectively expand the arms of the first generation of StarCraft, and the production items in the barracks, heavy factories, and starports are complete.
It's just that the fusion core has not been unlocked, and the technology ball and battlecruiser are still locked.
Since this round bead is similar in style to the "intelligent core", it is likely to be a remnant of a broken ancient civilization heritage. What can it unlock?
The focus shifted to the "Barracks", and suddenly found that there were 2 new units behind the ghost agent.
See thumbnails at first glance. He froze in place, his teeth slightly sore.
what did he see
They are "Tauren Marines" and "Murloc Marines".
These two units made a brief appearance in the battle, as an easter egg set by Blizzard.
I didn't expect Sister Logic to bring them into the system, which is really speechless.
Tauren marines are expensive, 100 crystals and 25 gas, occupying 2 people.
The cost is high. The combat power is naturally high. According to the system notes, the tauren marines have 5 major components.
One, cattle from the steppes of Mulgore: Yes, you read that right. They are time travelers from the world of Azeroth... oh no, they are time travelers. Compared with ordinary humans, they have a stronger body and stronger physique. Whether it is strength, durability or agility, they are far superior to ordinary marines.
Two impala electromagnetic guns: perhaps it is more appropriate to call them electromagnetic guns. This large weapon that human soldiers cannot use falls into the hands of the tauren marines and becomes an artifact of killing. Any person or vehicle that tries to block the progress of the mad bull will be ruthlessly smashed by them.
The Impala electromagnetic gun can be used for more than just shooting. It is also an excellent melee weapon, equipped with a plasma hatchet under the barrel, which can easily tear through the hard shell of the zerg and the armor of the vehicle. The frenzied stream of plasma that clings to the surface inflicts secondary damage, burning or melting target components.
3. Heavy armor: Tauren Marines’ combat uniforms are improved on the basis of -300 power armor, which has higher protection performance and mobility bonus, and can fully adapt to the super-strong physique of Tauren. It has both the defense of -600 power armor and the mobility of -300. Say it bluntly. The Empire has poured its heart and soul into them.
Fourth, excellent jumping ability: as a war race in Azeroth. Over their long years of struggle they have developed very strong lower limbs that can support them in long-distance jumps. When the heavy body falls to the ground, it will produce a violent earthquake, which can cause chaos within a certain range and weaken the opponent's combat effectiveness.
5. Photovoltaic energy tower: The cylindrical structure carried by the tauren marines is a kind of equipment specially designed for them by the scientific research department of the empire. It can collect free light waves in the void and convert them into the energy required for combat. The built-in nuclear energy battery matrix can provide the elite tauren with ultra-long combat endurance.
Tauren marines have two active skills, "War Stomp" and "Strengthener". The upgrade research on infantry weapons and armor can also be applied to them, and the same is true for murloc marines.
After browsing the sample analysis data of the tauren marines, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and his speechlessness became more and more emotional.
What kind of marines are these? They are clearly a group of human tanks, which are more exaggerated than marauders and fire bats, and they can be called the perfect infantry killer.
Although the population occupancy is a bit high, in terms of combat effectiveness, a combination of machine gunners with the same population is not worthy of lifting their shoes, but I don't know who is stronger between the tauren marines and the fanatics.
Next is the murloc marines, the cost is the same as the tauren marines, 100 crystals and 25 gas, but the population consumption is reduced to 1.
Sample analysis data of murloc marines revealed 4 major building blocks.
One, I am a happy fish: they always have innocent and silly smiles, even if they are locked in a thick steel cage. When the imperial soldiers saw them for the first time, they exclaimed, "God, who the hell did the crime and sent these little ones to the front line, they should stay in the zoo and grab the lollipops from the children's hands rather than the battlefield. "
Two, woo ah ah...: Some people think this is the unique language of murlocs, and some people think that they are singing, just like the silly smile behind the helmet and those big yo-yo eyes. Anyway, no one knows what kind of noble girl Jinxiu it represents. In the late stage of the war, some poor soldiers could only fall asleep by listening to their "Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooah..." which has become a hypnotic hypnotic song on the battlefield. Some of the medics in the emergency squad complained about being robbed of their jobs by murloc marines.
3. Amphibious hunters: Murloc marines are qualified amphibious assault soldiers, and their underwater combat capabilities are better than ground combat. Although it looks very tasteless in the context of the universe.
4. Murloc Suit: Just like the Tauren Marines, the Empire's scientific research department has tailored a suitable suit for them. Some people questioned that the government was wasting the hard-earned money of taxpayers, and some even criticized the scientific research department for being so idle that it took a group of murlocs who could only giggle as soldiers to arm them. Only soldiers who have actually been on the front line know that they are not weak, but rather strong. The murloc's large eyes are more reliable than the gun's aiming system. In their hands, the electromagnetic gun with the bullet suppressor removed is like a small-caliber Gatling machine gun, with an astonishingly high rate of fire... The price is that the ammunition is quickly exhausted, and the speed of changing the gun is like a woman changing clothes. People dare to use them, and most of the time they are thrown at the base as mascots. Because that's not fighting, it's burning money.
Tang Fang raised his eyebrows and thought, well, after the Zerg Paijia Beast, humans have also unlocked pet units, when will it be the turn of the Protoss?
Does Protoss have pet units?
Then it occurred to Freya that she always felt that she didn't have time to accompany her, so she might as well send some murlocs to relieve her boredom.
Random thoughts. Emma's beep wakes him up. Put the faded beads into the storage device, and walked quickly to Roy.
The young man was in a daze, looked at his face and said in a naive voice: "Brother Tang, where are we?"
The room was still a world of silver just now, but now it has become a world of jade, and it took a while for Roy to adapt.
He didn't explain, but asked directly: "Where's Bai Yue? Where is Bai Yue?"
"Bai...Yue?"
Hearing this name, Roy woke up instantly, his eyes burst into light. Then quickly subsided and was replaced sadly.
Tang Fang frowned. There is a vague feeling of bad premonition.
Roy's gaze passed through the gap between the pure white armor of the two nurses, and landed on Terro, whose body was getting colder. Looking at the pool of blood around him, he opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.
The hall without wind was a bit cold, and those crystals shone coldly.
He got up from the ground and walked out the door.
Tang Fang stared at that figure for a while, then followed with a sullen face.
The zealot turned into a phantom and disappeared, and the two nurses disappeared quickly.
The light track outside the door was still shining, and the surface of the petri dish shone with different shades of light, dispelling the darkness, but not taking away the cold.
The elevator went up slowly and stopped for a moment.
The two walked along the steps and entered the experiment hall. Roy didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, and Tang Fang didn't ask any more questions. The silence was like the distance between the two, and it lasted forever.
Linglong and Yingluo have been transferred to the Protoss transport plane by the nurse mm, and the equipment pool only has messy corpses and coagulated blood.
The damaged electronic equipment was still burning, the flames were smaller, and the broken cables burst into flames from time to time, illuminating the surroundings, including people's faces.
Roy paused, stepped on the blood on the ground and continued to move forward, his bare feet soon covered with a layer of dull red.
The blood has cooled completely, and the original strong stench has become lighter.
Tang Fang walked through this sea of corpses again, feeling very different from when he came here.
At that time, even though I was disgusted, it was more the joy of discovering Linglong and Yingluo, but at this moment, it was an unspeakable loss and sadness, so I felt that the blood became redder, and the feet became heavier. Every time I took a step, I felt like my heart was being beaten. Fist, very blocked, very painful.
Roy entered the corridor on the left, walked up the road to the second floor, crossed a curve, entered a side door, walked along the dark corridor, and finally came to a dark room and stood in front of the door.
A wind came from a distance, blowing the white gown, making rustling noises.
The beam above the door is embedded with an electronic sign, and the red light outlines three large characters --- morgue.
The light is cold, the words are cold, and the meaning is even colder.
Roy stepped aside, lowered his head slightly, with tears in his eyes, and the joy of seeing his loved ones was replaced by sadness.
"Bai Yue..."
Tang Fang pushed open the door and walked into the darkness.
The emergency lights are still flashing, and the flickering light shines on the wall, reflecting the slowly rotating fan blades of the exhaust vent, like a ghost scene.
The wind blew in outside the door became colder. Blowing makes people's ears numb.
The mortuary table near the door was empty, with a white cloth lying on the floor, and a large bloodstain near the middle, which had been dried by the wind, showing a purple-black luster.
A dead body lay on a mortuary table piled side by side. It was covered with the same white cloth, and there was also blood stains in the middle, but the spreading area was larger, and the inner circle was still very bright.
In the corner of the morgue was an dissecting table, the metallic silver surface turned cold, dazzling people's eyes.
On the other side of the dissecting table is a freezer for freezing corpses. A status indicator is attached to each grid, flashing a blue light.
Roy pointed to the second mortuary table, put his feet back, and leaned against the door frame.
Tang Fang walked over and gently lifted the white cloth.
Like Roy never pulls a prank. There was nothing unexpected about the scene in front of him. The person lying on the morgue was the last person he wanted to see here.
His pale face still maintained the expression he had before his death, with a faint apology between his brows, and a strand of blood coagulated at the corner of his lips, which hadn't dried up yet.
Tang Fang stood in front of the stage with his fists clenched.
Roy slid against the door frame and sat on the cold ground, letting the wind blow his stiff face.
The puppies and fanatics scattered in various areas of the "Void Ripper" are like wild wolves that suddenly went mad. Whether it is a human clone or a scientific researcher who has no power to restrain a chicken, they are all pierced in the belly. Become a dead body, or minced meat.
Blood flowed like a river, and killing fermented inside the boat.
There is no life, only death.
Even those who jump into the sea will be overtaken by angry fanatics, piercing the atrium from behind with a light knife that evaporates infinite water vapor.
It started to rain. Splashes and waves washed away the blood, and some sharks that smelled fishy came in the rain. It crushed the slowly sinking corpse, spreading out clouds of underwater blood mist.
The weather at sea is unpredictable. No one knows when the rain will fall, and where the wind and waves will rise, just like life full of unpredictable winds and clouds.
Tang Fang's heart was heavy, and it was darker than the sky, but there was no rain.
Although he had made preparations on the way here, he still couldn't control his restless and sad heart when he saw the real scene in front of him. Those bitter tastes were like the bleak wind in late autumn, whipping his body non-stop.
His hands stretched out and closed again, trembling slightly.
I really want to touch Bai Yue's face, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to control the emotions that are forcibly suppressed in my chest.
Although the philosopher Morris was not long on board, he left a deep impression on everyone, no matter whether they ridiculed, ignored, alienated, or approached... He just lived and walked so stubbornly, talking goddamn words, carrying A thick skin that doesn't care what anyone thinks.
I remember that when I first met him, the philosopher Morris always talked about sacrifice, saying that it was his pursuit. Live a humble life and die vigorously. For a Morris slave, this kind of curtain call is great. At least it can prove to the world that he has existed, and at least he can die with his name on his back.
After boarding the "Morning Star", he has rarely mentioned the philosophy of "sacrifice".
Tang Fang knew that he had changed, became afraid of death, no longer admired "sacrifice", no longer thought about dying vigorously, he even started to keep a diary, recording his daily life with crooked and unaesthetic words , from Bai Hao and Linglong's emotional tug-of-war, to Churchill and Chen Jian's talk, from Freya sneaking into the captain's cabin for the night, to what flavor of ice cream Izsha likes, to Yuffie's retching, and Joey looked at each other with complicated eyes...
He recorded all these in the diary with sunflowers printed on the title page under the bed.
He thought that no one would find out, but... what happened on the "Morning Star" could hide from Tang Fang's eyes?
He is really afraid of death, so he cherishes the short life of ordinary human beings very much, and enjoys every minute and every second of life almost greedily, carefully observing everyone around him, and treating everything with his heart.
He changed, started to have a life, started to have friends, started to be Izsha's follower, and then got dumped...
Now that he died, he didn't die vigorously, nor did he die after enjoying his short life, but in this way, lying alone on the cold mortuary table, died quietly, and became cold quietly.
The diary with the sunflowers printed on it is still on the "Morning Star", under the quilt at the head of the bed, and it has not been updated for half a month...
Tang Fang never thought of himself as a sentimental person.
Neither was Tang Yan. His six-year military career was soaked in the blood of his comrades, and he was more indifferent to death than anything else.
This is how he is, seeing the death of his companion who has been dangling in front of him, looking at that familiar but lifeless face, but it seems that someone is pulling his heart hard, his nose is sore, and his eyes are hot.
The light stretched Roy's back very long, covering his side face.
The boy was very clever for a while, he tried his best to hold back, and didn't cry... at least he didn't cry out loud.
He knew that if he couldn't save Bai Yue, it would only make Brother Tang even more sad.
Grief is contagious.
Grief is not only contagious, it ebbs and flows, hitting the heart like a tide.
However, just before Tang Fang was about to bite his lower lip, a voice broke his sadness and peace.
The owner of the voice is Emma, who has never been able to read words, let alone be considerate of people's hearts. She is usually long-winded, and the adjutant is not able to say the main point in three sentences.
Logically speaking, he would pour all his anger on "her", and even use rude language to greet Emma's mother. But he didn't.
Because that's what it says.
"Commander, I'm sorry to interrupt your memory, because I have to do this... If you continue to be in a daze, Bai Yue's hope of surviving will completely disappear in 1 minute."
Tang Fang recited it twice silently in his heart, and a light emerged from the depths of his eyes.
"Emma, I need an explanation." (To be continued)
