????????????????????? If it were Si Fang¡¯s subordinates back then, he would definitely know about what happened back then.
The patrol ship's access hatch has been opened, the indicator light is flashing, Xilin piloted the aircraft and followed Pian Huo into the patrol ship.
As soon as he got off the aircraft and before he could stand firmly, Xilin heard a burst of heroic laughter.
"Pian Huo, you are finally back!"
Following the sound, Xilin looked over and saw a middle-aged man wearing a Fire Phoenix combat uniform walking over.
The person coming is Ran Zai.
It is a bit different from the image in the prime of life twenty years ago. You can still vaguely see the angular face of the original youth, but there is no trace of rickets in the tall body after more than twenty years. It is still upright and the eyes are still straight. Jiong Jiong, looked at Pian Huo with the loving smile of an elder.
"Uncle Ran! I miss you so much!" Pian Huo jumped over and gave Ran another hug.
"Hey, you little brat." Ran tugged at the disguised beard on Pian Huo's face again, "This looks more courageous than last time."
"Of course." Pian Huo was very satisfied with his disguise this time.
Ran Zai has long been accustomed to Pian Huo's disguise. After looking at Pian Huo, his eyes moved to Xilin.
"Xilin, right? I just received a communication from the 'Queen'. As soon as you entered the S-sector, the 'Queen' knew about it and was about to send someone to greet you. If you know that I am here, let me keep you. Soon Someone will come to pick you up later." For the sake of Pian Huo and Anjinia, Ran Zai was still very polite to Xilin, at least the smile on his face was not fake.
Gazing past Xi Lin, Ran Zai's eyes fell on Xi Ying. He paused for a moment, then moved away. With a smile, he led Pian Huo, Xi Lin and the others into the patrol ship.
Ran Zai didn¡¯t have much curiosity about Xilin. After all, he didn¡¯t know Xilin well. He only knew that Xilin was a pioneer and was familiar with Jin Shuo¡¯s ¡°Queen¡± Anjinia, but. When Ran looked at Xiying again just now, he had a very strange feeling. He felt that this person was special and could not be seen clearly.
As for the cat on Xilin¡¯s shoulder, it was completely ignored.
Ran then arranged a rest room for Xi Lin and Xi Ying. Treated a lot. Then he went to exchange feelings with Pian Huo.
The gray cat, who had eaten and drank enough, lay down in a circle on the soft bed and began to sleep. Anyway, he had to wait for the people from Jinshuo to come and pick him up. Now he didn¡¯t have to worry about eating and drinking. As the saying goes. "Go to bed when you're full!" This is a saying that Gray Cat has always believed to be true.
Xilin sat on the chair in the room and continued to write and draw with the electronic version. He was studying the information about "miracles" that Yin Wu Sheng gave him. It was just this information. Even if he continued to study it, he would probably not make any progress. Too big.
While Xilin was writing, the doorbell rang.
It¡¯s Ran Zai. After chatting with Pian Huo, he came over to see Xilin. After all, Xilin was a guest, and a distinguished guest that Anjinia valued, so he couldn't be neglected. Besides, when Ran chatted with Pian Huo just now, Pian Huo's evaluation of Xilin was also He is very tall and loves houses and birds. Ran Zai's attitude towards Xilin also improved a lot.
"Are you used to it here? Can't you sleep?" Ran looked at the fat cat sleeping comfortably on the bed and asked Xiang Xilin. It stands to reason that after a long drive, if you relax now, you should fall asleep quickly. He didn't look at what was written on the electronic board in Xilin's hand, regarding **. Ran Zai has always been more respectful.
"No, the arrangements here are very good, but there are some things that I can't figure out." Xilin stopped the pen in his hand and replied.
"Oh? What can't you figure out?" Ran Zai was very curious. Young people of Xilin's age are very ambitious. Ran Zai felt that Xilin should also be troubled by some common problems among young people of this age, and was ready to enlighten him.
However, Xilin¡¯s next move made the smile on Ran Zai¡¯s face freeze.
Xilin drew a picture on the electronic board in his hand, then turned the electronic board to face Ran Zai.
Seeing Xilin¡¯s drawing on the electronic board, Ran Zai¡¯s expression was focused, and the air pressure around him seemed to have dropped a lot.
There is a very special animal on the electronic board, which looks a bit dreamy. However, as Ran Zai, who once held an important position under Si Fang, this icon is too familiar. Even in the past twenty years, he often dreams about it. , every time I wake up I am covered in cold sweat.
"What do you mean!" Ran Zai no longer had a smile on his face, his expression was very bad, and his voice was a little hoarse. Because of the excitement caused by the sudden change of mood, he spoke with a vibrato.
Dream Tapir, the military¡¯s secret project. Xilin once encountered the products of the Dream Tapir Project when he was in the M Star District, but those products were not the most important items of the Dream Tapir Project. Among the information Xilin knows,The first phase of the Meng Tapir project is the DKC series of multi-functional titanium guns, and the second phase is some weapons of mass destruction. The one Xilin encountered in the M sector was a project of the second phase of the Meng Tapir project. However, in the information Xilin learned, there was nothing about the theory of Yinwushe. In the information given by Yin Wu Sheng, the iconic pattern is this.
This pattern is slightly different from the pattern of the Dream Tapir Project that Xilin knows, and it has an evil vibe.
The Dream Tapir project started very early, and its original starting point was the "Dream Tapir". Taking this project as the starting point, the subsequent research actually had the purpose of covering up this initial project. Putting aside those cover-ups, the original "Dream Tapir" is what those people value.
Si Fang was dismissed from his post and imprisoned because of the "Dream Tapir" incident. But more than 20 years later, Yinwushe said that "Dream Tapir" might make a comeback.
Xilin didn't care about Ran Zai's expression and continued: "I think you, as a subordinate of General Si Fang back then, should know it very well."
Ran Zai stared at Xilin for a while, trying to see clearly what the emotion was in Xilin's eyes and what his purpose was. However, Ran Zai couldn't tell. Before that, he only thought that Xilin and people of this age were Like other young people, they are worried about the same thing. Even if he were killed, he would not have guessed that it would be this thing, this nightmare-like thing.
¡° Moreover, since Xilin was able to tell Si Fang and himself who once held an important position under Si Fang, Ran Zai knew that the young man in front of him knew not only all the details about himself, but he also had a general idea.
After thinking about it, Ran calmed down and said, "What is your purpose?"
Xilin shook his head, Ran Zaizai suspected that he had bad thoughts towards "Dream Tapir", Xilin had to explain.
"I know the identity of Pian Huo. I know some things about General Si Fangsi back then. I also know about the mass imprisonment incident that year. I know about the disaster in the Supreme Prison. I know those of you who participated in the 'Tapire Extermination' incident. Everyone has strong feelings of rejection and hatred towards the 'Dream Tapir', but do you think you eradicated it completely?"
Ran Zai's heart suddenly suddenly thought, "What do you mean?!"
"I got the news. Although you destroyed the planet back then, some important information is still there. Based on that information, the people of 'Miracle' continued the 'Dream Tapir' project for more than twenty years. . Enough for them to do a lot of things.¡±
Following Xilin¡¯s words, Ran Zai¡¯s fists clenched loudly, and the veins on the back of his hands protruded, which was very scary.
¡°Isn¡¯t Oros dead?!¡±
Xilin could feel Ran Zai's hatred for Oros from the tone of this sentence.
"Oros is dead. But other interest groups are still there, and the 'Dream Tapir' has gained many supporters in recent years." Xilin said.
The benefits brought by "Dream Tapir" are enough to drive those people crazy, so how could they let it go just because of Oros? After decades of waiting, isn¡¯t it just waiting for the birth of the ¡°Dream Tapir¡±?
It¡¯s just that back then, there was a Si Fang who dared to strike hard and cruelly. What about now? Who is coming? Even if you dare, it's already too late.
"'Miracle', the follow-up project of 'Miracle', has already begun to take over. Now the Star Alliance is in chaos. There are many people who support 'Miracle', but there are also many people who are against 'Miracle'. However, many people don't know about 'Miracle'. 'This devil-like thing they carry. If 'Miracle' is going to perish by then, they will definitely release the 'Dream Tapir' that has been carefully raised for so many years before it perishes," Xilin said.
Ran Zai is very aware of the madness of those people. Many people were lost in the "tapir eradication" plan, and he himself was one of the few survivors. It is precisely because I have experienced it myself that I understand the horror of that kind of thing better. When the "tapir eradication" operation was carried out, those things were not yet fully mature, so a few people were able to survive. However, if those things were mature and were released, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Why should I believe what you said, why should I believe that you won't be greedy for that thing?" Ran Zai looked straight at Xilin, confirming from Xilin's eyes whether Xilin's answer was true.
"Greed?" Xilin smiled, "If I want a planet to perish, I can do it at any time. In this world, besides the 'Dream Tapir', there are many things that can be done."
Xilin¡¯s voice didn¡¯t have much fluctuation when he spoke, and it sounded very plain. However, the content of his words made Ran Zai¡¯s spine shiver. With his eyesight, he felt that Xilin was not lying.
Ran has seen too many people of the same age as Xilin, but the Xilin in front of him made Ran subvert his evaluation again and again.
¡°It is easier to destroy than to persuade and save, so people are moreDelight in destruction. "This is what Si Fang said back then. Si Fang knew what those people would do with "dream tapirs" and knew the consequences when the nightmare spread, so he withstood the pressure and carried out the tapir eradication operation.
"Dream Tapir, it has a good name, but it itself is a combination of nightmares. I don't know how much information you know. From the information I know, it is a combination of demons.
They were originally microscopic parasites that could drift in space. They were later discovered by that group of people and were once again studied as a deadly virus vector in experiments. The results of the experiment were very successful. Since then, those people have been conducting related research. During research, this parasite is used as a vector to infect the target. Because when this parasite exists, the deadly virus will concentrate on this parasite when there are no other hosts. The source of the virus cannot be detected in the air, even in water, even if this parasite is detected The source of the virus will not be detected in the nearby water source, and the life activities of the parasite carrying the virus will not be affected. So, those people named this parasite ¡®dream tapir¡¯. "
The dream tapir can swallow nightmares and reappear the swallowed nightmares.
"For more research, those people modified the parasite so that it could carry more viruses at the same time, and implanted control bodies in them. You can imagine if someone wanted to destroy a planet As a powerful group on the planet, he does not need to send out a large number of elite troops, armored combat vehicles, fighter planes, etc. All he needs to do is control a 'dream tapir' to enter the planet and then infect humans and other living things. Viruses It doesn't have to be in the air or pure water. But it can be transmitted from 'Dream Tapir' to people, and the infected person can then infect other people.
¡®Dream Tapir¡¯ is like a transfer station, transferring virions to other organisms, constantly accumulating and infecting them. The spread of the virus is beyond people¡¯s imagination. If it were an isolated planet. Only the creatures on this planet will be affected by the disaster, but what if this happens to a new planet that communicates frequently with the outside world? That will show a radial spread.
Back then, there was a planet that served as a pilot planet. From a planet teeming with life to a dead star. Thousands of deadly viruses are raging on the planet, and the starting cause is just a 'dream tapir'. There is no time at all to create a vaccine or effective medicine. Just gone. Therefore, after General Si learned about this incident, he issued an order to "exterminate the tapirs". "
Having said this, Ran Zai smiled sarcastically, "Those people in the V sector are still clamoring about the ruthlessness of the army. They have no idea how much General Si helped them back then. Originally. When the first batch of adults were produced After coming out, the most important target was the famous thugs in the Star Alliance in the V sector. If General Si hadn't started to 'annihilate the tapirs' first, the V sector would have been purged twenty years ago! Oscuro, whom they admire, is also one of the supporters of 'Dream Tapir'! What right do they have to clamor! What right do they have to cheer after General Si is imprisoned, saying dog eats dog! They don't understand anything, they don't understand anything. not understand¡¡"
Ran put her hands into her hair again. He lowered his head and covered his eyes with his palms. Although so many years have passed, the events of that year are still vivid in my mind. They have suffered the injustice and the punishment, and they have no regrets. They just feel sorry for the brothers who died. All their military achievements have been denied. There is no longer any record about them in the files of the Covenant Army. They , are people abandoned by history.
Xilin was silent. If Si Fang had not issued the "tapir extermination" order twenty years ago, and if there had not been the sacrifices of those who participated in the tapir extermination operation, today, there might not be Tang Qiu Qiu, there would be no Free Army, and there would be no V-star region today. Perhaps, It has long since become a complete colony.
From the all-powerful general to the prisoner in the highest prison in the Star Alliance, when they experienced the ups and downs of life, what was the mentality of those trapped in the prison back then?
When this life is over, looking back, they still do not regret what they did back then. This is their own choice and the life they have decided. Si Fang back then was such a person. A general's character could affect the subordinates around him.
Ran Zai told Xilin a lot about the "Dream Tapir". However, after all, Ran Zai didn't know much about this aspect and gave Xilin limited advice. However, Ran Zai reenacted the "Tapir Extermination" incident that year, which made Ran Zai Xilin better understands those people of that era who were abandoned by history.
In addition to the "Dream Tapir" incident, Ran Zai also told Xilin about Si Fang and Pian Huo. He was so excited that he couldn't stop talking.
"When something happened in the Supreme Prison, General Si handed over Pian Huo to a person. That person owed General Si a favor, and General Si's request was to let her take Pian Huo away and, in the future, give herHuo's right to choose gives Pianhuo freedom. Pianhuo's name comes from that fire.
After spending time in prison, we better understand the strong yearning for freedom. However, I heard that General Si has always been very calm in prison. I don¡¯t know if General Si at that time really took everything as lightly as they said, but I know that no matter what the outcome is, no matter whether it is Even if he was sentenced to jail, whether he was framed or not, General Si would not regret it.
When the prison caught fire, the prison's protective gate was opened by the warden to allow important personnel inside to escape. However, General Si did not leave, and there were several people who followed General Si. Not only General Si, but also some senior military officials like General Si did not come out. They were sentenced to life imprisonment and they chose to stay in it.
Actually, I know that the reason why General Si didn¡¯t come out was not just for the so-called dignity of the military. She didn¡¯t want to implicate more people. Only when General Si is gone, those who escape and survive will not be restricted by the military. "
Si Fang was labeled with Wei Ting, so those who followed Si Fang would also be labeled with Wei Ting. Those people stayed there not because of Wei Ting, but because of Si Fang. As Yin Wushe said, if Si Fang was still alive today, the current situation of the army might not be just like this. Without Si Fang, the former subordinates each chose their own way out and the direction of their own wishes.
Just like Ran Zai, if Si Fang is still alive, Ran Zai will definitely continue to follow Si Fang and return to the army. But Si Fang was gone, and Ran Zai was recruited by Huo Fenghuang's people. Ran Zai just muddle along at first, but later after meeting Pian Huo, he decided to officially stay with Huo Fenghuang. Even though Pian Huo often disguises himself, there are times when he is not disguised and Ran Zai can recognize him with just one glance. Because Pian Huo and Si Fang look so much alike.
Ran Zai chatted with Xilin for a long time. After talking, Ran Zai readjusted his emotions and walked out.
Ran Zai, who was walking in the passage, felt a little weird. He felt that he had talked too much today. Although he planned to tell Xilin some things, he still said too much.
As he walked, Ran Zai slowed down, the expression on his face changed several times, then he laughed and cursed: "You bastard, you actually hypnotized me!"
