Chapter 279 The President's Request
Qianmian's friendly communication made Chen Ming a little nervous for a moment, and he asked back: "Does friendly communication mean that I am accused of massacring civilians?"
Hearing this, Qianmian shrugged and said: "We did not take the initiative to pass the buck. In fact, we only did what we have been doing, causing damage to a space station of the Empire."
"It just happened that you chose to destroy us first, and collided with our goal. Aren't we still helping you? Help you kill all the Zuo Jings on the space station that you didn't kill."
"As for how the Empire will look at you in the future, isn't it because of your own actions that led to the current situation?"
"If you don't attack us, there won't be so many things."
What Qianmian said is indeed nothing wrong at first glance for someone who doesn't know the whole picture.
Zuo Jing is a villain, who is causing damage to the Empire, and he did help Chen Ming kill all the Zuo Jings he wanted to kill.
It is even true that Chen Ming chose this space station to lead to the current situation.
All true.
But only telling half the truth can sometimes even cause a bigger error than telling a lie.
Of course, for Chen Ming, who knew that the guy in front of him had planted the seeds of inducing rage in An Wuping and attacked his own spiritual weaknesses.
What the bastard said just now was bullshit.
And Chen Ming never believed that Zuo Jing would be kind to people and would really have friendly exchanges.
Because the source of his dislike for Zuo Jing was all caused by seeing Zuo Jing's outrageous actions with his own eyes
But at this time, Chen Ming pretended to think seriously and said: "I have never heard that rage can be treated, it has always been relieved."
Qianmian stretched out his index finger and shook it at Chen Ming: "No, no, no, in fact, there is a drug that can directly act on your brain and neutralize the substances that cause rage secreted in your brain when rage attacks."
"As long as you can take it for a long time, you can completely erase these substances and protect your brain. ”
“There is another quick way, which is to directly extract the substance through surgery. What do you think?”
Qianmian’s words are indeed very tempting under normal circumstances, but Chen Ming continued to consider An Wuping’s reaction and said, “What the Empire can’t do, how can you do it?”
“The Empire doesn’t have as many experimental subjects as we do.”
“…”
Chen Ming was silent for a long time, and finally said, “Where is the medicine?”
Qianmian smiled and took out a small bottle of medicine that had been prepared long ago from his pocket. There was no label on the bottle.
Since they helped An Wuping prepare the letter of surrender, they would naturally prepare what they should give after the letter of surrender was handed in.
“Just take it orally. The medicine will take effect in about an hour. If you can speed up blood flow and promote absorption, it will be faster.”
Chen Ming took the bottle of medicine, stuffed the whole bottle into his mouth, and swallowed it directly.
The stomach tissue immediately extracted and stored the medicine in the glass bottle, and handed it over to the queen worm to extract and analyze the composition of the medicine.
On the other side of the Fourteenth Legion's fake body, Chen Ming immediately used the authority of the Fourteenth Legion to query the drugs related to these ingredients, and the results came out quickly. As expected. This drug was not developed by Zuo Jing at all, but by the Empire. And the organization that developed this drug was the Fanchao Research Institute. This was not Zuo Jing's patent at all, nor was it a research result of Zuo Jing's unscrupulous human experiments. It was an inhibitory drug developed by the Fanchao Research Institute in recent years based on various animals infected with rage. Zuo Jing secretly obtained this drug. It is not known whether they stole the finished product or stole the ingredient list and copied the drug themselves. Finally, they brought it to him to deceive him. It can only be said that just a few hours ago, when Chen Ming called the Anti-Cult Bureau of the Odan Star Region, the deputy director said that they could help with the treatment. Although Chen Ming hung up the phone before and didn't finish listening, the treatment the deputy director mentioned was obviously the treatment of rage. It was precisely because of the deputy director's words that Chen Ming would try to let the fake body search for information at the first time.
In the end, he really found something.
The empire was indeed infiltrated by Zuo Jing in many places.
Although it was not necessarily the Fanchao Institute, but the people who conducted drug experiments in the Fanchao Institute or some other related collaborators who were infiltrated, this is indeed a problem.
The brainwashing psychic power that acts on ordinary people and is difficult for psychics to detect is really a troublesome thing.
Of course, Chen Ming does not need to consider the affairs of Zuo Jing in the empire now, he only needs to consider the present.
The glass bead psychic in front of him did give him the medicine to cure rage.
According to the reports occasionally released by the Fanchao Research Institute, it can be seen that this thing is indeed effective. After the effect was achieved on animals, a small-scale clinical trial with approval was started.
It just hasn't been used on a large scale yet.
And through the inspection of the Queen Worm, the ingredients of the medicine he just took are indeed fine. Zuo Jing didn't do anything small. It's the same as the ingredients disclosed in an archive that requires certain permissions to view.
After all, in Zuo Jing's eyes, An Wuping is at least a physical psychic. What he is least afraid of is targeting the body, whether it is poison or something else.
There is no need to make trouble in such a place.
After Chen Ming confirmed that the medicine was completely fine, he let An Wuping's body start to absorb the medicine.
There is a little bit of material in the material of this medicine. There is no harm in absorbing it... but there is no benefit...
Because Chen Ming found out after absorbing it that this medicine is completely acting on the brain, and all the ingredients are used to protect the brain after being absorbed.
However, An Wuping's brain is just a decoration, so this medicine is useless.
But it's not a big problem. He doesn't suffer from berserk syndrome, so it doesn't matter if he lacks this little thing.
Just pretend when it's time.
As An Wuping's body absorbs the medicine, the violent aura on his body gradually subsides.
After feeling that An Wuping is no longer in a violent state, Qianmian also repeated what he said just now: "We just need you to cooperate with us temporarily, just treat it as a temporary cooperation."
"We treat you, you work hard, and when you are done with the treatment, you leave. It's a very simple deal, right?"
Of course, Qianmian can't actually let An Wuping go casually. There are still various means waiting for him.
It's just that he said so now.
Chen Ming knows this very well.
Qianmian actually knows that Chen Ming knows this very well.
It's just that he is confident that An Wuping will stay completely after joining.
Chen Ming also has the confidence that after joining Zuo Jing, he can turn Zuo Jing upside down from the inside.
Both of them have their own ulterior motives, and it depends on who is more capable.
Anyway, for Chen Ming, since Zuo Jing has misjudged him, they will soon experience what pain is.
Chen Ming stopped thinking about it and asked directly: "What do you want me to do?"
Qianmian didn't rush to say it, but stepped forward and stretched out his hand: "Happy cooperation? Just call me Qianmian."
Chen Ming withdrew from the insect form, gradually restored to human form, and stretched out his hand to hold it.
However, just when he just held Qianmian's hand, he suddenly exerted force and swung it violently, trying to smash Qianmian into the wreckage of the space station.
Halfway through the swing, a ball of black mist exploded on Qianmian's body.
Qianmian escaped from Chen Ming's hand and soon emerged again in the shadow next to him, unscathed.
An Wuping was obviously still hostile to Zuo Jing, but the violent aura on his body had indeed been completely restrained.
Qianmian sensed this, so he just patted his protective suit to get rid of the ash that had just been stained, and asked: "Have you calmed down? You can see my ability. I want to go easily. There is no point in threatening me with violence."
Chen Ming leaned against the wall next to him that had not been destroyed and collapsed, lowered his head and stopped talking.
Qianmian was not angry even though he didn't wait for Chen Ming's reply. Instead, he said: "It's okay if you calm down."
"Then listen to the content of our cooperation. We need you to go to Caimo Star Region."
Chen Ming turned his head and looked at Qianmian again: "That's where I was going."
"But you went there to oppose us, and now you can help us."
"What do you want me to do?"
"There is a very important laboratory. Keep an eye on it and don't let anyone get close."
"..."
Chen Ming accepted it silently.
But he had a question in his heart.
Is this laboratory really important? If it was really important, he shouldn't have been told about the existence of this place casually, nor should he be asked to guard it as a psychic who had just been forced to join Zuojing.
Chen Ming thought so, of course without saying a word.
He even followed Qianmian onto his shuttle.
He arrived at a Zuojing destroyer that came to pick him up and left the galaxy.
And in this galaxy with only wreckage left, for some reason no government officials arrived.
One day later.
The president's phone suddenly came to Chen Ming's hand.
Chen Ming answered the phone with the fake body of the 14th Legion as usual.
The president's voice came out immediately: "The updated data for the new week has been sent, please receive it."
"The impact of the sequelae of dimensional infection is still expanding. There are already several scattered star systems in the Caimo Star Region with a 100% rate of newborn deformities. The obstetrics and gynecology and psychology departments of hospitals will probably be overcrowded for at least the next eight or nine months."
Chen Ming didn't have time to look at the data given by the president. Just listening to what the president said, he could already feel the trouble: "The situation is still very bad, what about the others?"
"Not ideal either. Although we are cooperating with the Empire to mass-produce new equipment, many people are also using the equipment to find the source of dimensional infection."
"But we can't find it, and the several star systems with 100% distortion rate are also We have dug deep into the ground to find it, but it is not the source of development."
"Then are we still the same as before?"
"Yes, we just need to do our own things, and others can do whatever they want. The pace of our association has always been consistent with the empire, mainly maintaining stability and handling incidents."
"By the way, did I tell you about that person before?"
"Which one?"
"An Wuping."
Chen Ming's expression became more serious: "An Wuping? Who?"
"It's the psychic who I mentioned before who nipped the infection of a dimension on the Zuojing Space Station."
"Oh, him, what happened?"
"He is suspected to have joined Zuojing."
Chen Ming pretended to be stunned for a second: "Ah? Didn't he say two days ago that he solved the dimensional infection and massacred the Zuojing space station? How come he joined Zuojing now?"
"The situation is a bit complicated."
The president explained: "Not many people know the specific news. I also got some scattered news from the Beniu star field government."
"It is said that a space station there was massacred, and it was a space station full of ordinary people."
"The culprit, judging from the traces left at the scene, is that An Wuping."
"But they also said that there are others They are also investigating the traces left by his psychic, and will not allow any outsiders to intervene for the time being. "
"Later, they gave me an explanation for my sake."
"It was said that An Wuping was suspected of having a violent attack, so he launched an indiscriminate massacre."
"Then a member of the Left Path had been tracking An Wuping, and after he finished the massacre, he took him away as a criminal."
"To be honest, I was a little bit unconvinced at this point, but they also showed me a photo of An Wuping talking to someone from the Left Path."
The president immediately sent a photo over.
It was the scene where Chen Ming talked to Qianmian on the wreckage of the space station.
This photo cleverly avoided the angle of the two cruisers with wreckage left in the galaxy, perfectly captured An Wuping's face, and also captured a little of the black fog on Qianmian's body, which indirectly proved Qianmian's identity.
As for An Wuping's identity, it can be confirmed when An Wuping does not enter the insect state and moves in the vacuum like nothing happened.
This photo should have been taken by Qianmian who secretly placed a camera in the black fog state. Otherwise, if it was the wreckage of the space station, Chen Ming still maintained control over it and could not have been unaware of the existence of this photo.
However, the impact was not great. Anyway, Chen Ming had more critical evidence in his hands.
But Chen Ming still had a question to ask: "Did the Beniu Star Region government explain how the space station became like this? It is already a ruin, right?"
"They said they didn't know. It was like this when they came."
"They also said that An Wuping showed large-scale destructive capabilities last time, and it is normal to use it on the space station this time."
"That's indeed the case. There is nothing to refute."
After sending the photo, the president's tone was mixed with some regret: "So this is an indiscriminate massacre after all, and it is also a serious crime for psychics."
"It is not impossible for An Wuping to follow Zuo Jing out of fear of crime."
"But this is not good news for us."
Chen Ming immediately agreed: "It is indeed not good news for a potential friendly to become an enemy."
"But since it is violent disorder? Then he The last massacre of Zuojing Space Station should not be caused by a violent attack, right? "
"The people of the Beniu government said that you meant that, but I don't agree."
"The Odan Star Region has been very active in contacting me. The evidence from them clearly shows that An Wuping is only in the early stage of violent attack and can completely control himself. The massacre of Zuojing Space Station also deliberately avoided causing harm to civilians. It is impossible for him to change his temperament in less than a week."
"Something must have happened in the past period of time."
"It's a pity that I haven't met this person after all, so I don't have as much say in An Wuping as the Odan and Beniu governments."
"I have seen some other photos of the scene over there. The traces that can be preserved when the space station was destroyed are basically the same as the last time, which can roughly confirm that An Wuping did carry out the massacre."
"Before there is more evidence, we can only deal with it according to the statement of the Beniu Star Region."
Chen Ming summarized and asked: "What you mean is to guard against An Wuping first, right?"
"Yes, he will definitely follow Zuo Jing next, and Zuo Jing's recent move is Cai Mo."
"But An Wuping is unlikely to go directly to Cai Mo. There is now a legion in the Cai Mo Star Region responsible for the hidden blockade."
"Any outsiders must be examined before entering, and cruiser-level jumps are now completely prohibited."
"Which legion is in charge?"
"The Fifth Legion."
"Fifth? Isn't it the local army and war zone that is responsible?"
The president shook his head slightly in a place where Chen Ming couldn't see and said: "To avoid suspicion, the local army can only shrink in their own bases now, and they will be blocked if they come out."
"So the matter of the galaxy blockade must be handed over to the nearest legion that has no direct interest in the local government."
"Oh,"
Chen Ming agreed "What did the Fifth Army do before? I don't think I've heard of it."
"It's normal that you haven't heard of it. The Fifth Army is mainly responsible for another direction, not the main branch of the Fourteenth Army."
"The Mechanical Clan didn't just block the Empire in one direction, so the Fifth Army is responsible for dealing with other Mechanical Clan and maintaining a confrontation with the Mechanical Clan."
"Then the Fifth Army and the Seventh Army have a cooperative relationship and take turns on duty, which is different from the Fourteenth Army dealing with the main force of Yuhui alone."
"Originally, when the Seventh Army came back recently, the Fifth Army should have taken over the shift. But since it happened to encounter this kind of thing, it's too late to temporarily rotate."
"So we postponed the rotation and handed over the matter of blocking the galaxy to the Fifth Army. After all, they have been on the front line and have the ability."
After listening to the president's story, Chen Ming had a general understanding of the army responsible for blocking the star field.
Out of curiosity, Chen Ming asked again: "When was the last rotation?"
"Five years ago, the rotation was every five years."
"This five-year rotation is quite special, because it happens to be the time point of technological iteration."
"I heard that you seem to have made a few technologies, right? The technologies you make are usually taken by the rotating legions to the place where they confront the mechanical race for small-scale low-intensity war tests."
"And the antimatter technology that has been discussed a lot in the empire recently was originally going to go to the front line with the Fifth Legion, but now it seems The son will have to delay for a while."
"We've gone off topic."
The president coughed and brought back the topic that Chen Ming had digressed from: "The border of Caimo Star Region is now under the full surveillance of the Fifth Legion."
"But there are still some loopholes. Some frigates or smaller spacecraft may be able to pass through the blockade."
"So I hope you can help out a little and use your psychic power to assist our work here. Once you find An Wuping's trace, try to capture him."
"We must not let him come into contact with those possible people in Caimo Star Region." The left diameter experienced by the dimension. "Chen Ming said in doubt:" I understand the truth, I can also deal with it, but how can I find the need to find An Wuping in such a large star domain? " "Although the Empire also has the splints, they do not experience the experience of dimension infection, and they cannot quickly confirm whether there is a dimension infection in a place, and it is easy to get an accident, and the efficiency is low." "I and you have experienced a dimension infection, you can't deal with it in person." "I don't have the ability to remotely control the spacecraft like you." "You can help in this regard." "I have a lot of clues on my hand, and they are all lacking in the investigation." Chen Ming had already made it clear that he was willing, but the president had been handling it himself. Apart from synchronizing the information with him, he did not ask him to do anything.
Since the president has taken the initiative to bring up this matter now, it seems that the situation in Caimo Star Region is really not good.
Then Chen Ming will definitely not refuse.
Under the concerns of Zuo Jing, the mechanical race, Yuhui and even the dimensional infection, the empire and all normal people will rise and fall together, even Chen Ming is no exception.
Chen Ming decisively agreed: "No problem, I will send Yuhui Core directly to deal with it, but the supplies and the proof that Yuhui Core is allowed to operate in the empire..."
"I will definitely make it up to you."
"If you find the source, don't go in directly. Just tell me and help stop the outsiders from that galaxy."
"Especially don't let An Wuping enter that galaxy. He is the person we need to worry about the most now."
Chen Ming confirmed: "Just investigate and stop people?"
"Yes, since Zuo Jing has clearly mastered the ability to create dimensional infection to a certain extent, it is best not to force them. Even if they find it, they have to take it slowly and never rush."
"Okay, I understand."
