Chapter 296 Wrong Trust, Correct Trust
Li Sheng raised his hand to block all the words that his deputy was about to say.
Since he had already given the order, it was impossible for him to stop halfway.
Moreover.
"I just need you to say that we did not detect An Wuping's biological signal, so it is difficult to judge that An Wuping died in the battle with the psychic of Zuo Jing?"
The deputy felt a headache when he thought that An Wuping's death might lead to several forces, especially the Psychic Society and the two from the Odan Star Region, coming to question him.
If there was clear evidence that An Wuping died in the battle, it would be fine, he would have enough excuses to shirk the matter.
But the current situation is obviously different.
It was Li Sheng who ordered the opening of fire first.
And An Wuping might have died under Li Sheng's order after the battle with the psychic of Zuo Jing, which is the key.
Li Sheng is the commander, basically only responsible for combat matters.
But as Li Sheng's deputy, he naturally needs to be responsible for civilian matters, which means that he needs to face the doubts and questions of these two parties.
The key is that the Odan star field is fine. Odan has participated in the Cai Mo incident purely by shameless means, and their main appeal can be blocked.
Moreover, the Odan star field has nothing to do with Cai Mo in terms of location. The Fifth Legion does not need to pay too much attention to the forces of the star field that are not doing things nearby.
But the Psychic Society is different.
Although the Psychic Society has always been a loose organization, it has always kept pace with the Empire.
There are some people who fish in troubled waters within the society, but more are psychics who are willing to do things that are beneficial to the Empire when necessary, that is, when their own interests are consistent with the interests of the Empire.
The president of the Psychic Society can also be regarded as one of the top psychics in the entire Empire.
Such forces cannot be sent away directly by anyone.
In this Cai Mo incident, the Fifth Legion can have the right to speak mainly because the matter has been made a big deal, and the situation is urgent and has to need the support of a legion.
If this incident only happened in a few star systems from beginning to end, and the scale was smaller, then their Fifth Legion would not have any advantage at all, and it would be even more impossible to take away a certain right to speak from the Psychic Society.
The Psychic Society can be prevented from participating too much, after all, the scope of the incident is too large, and the Psychic Society cannot fully control it.
But the Psychic Society must be respected.
The attitude of the Psychic Society towards An Wuping is also quite friendly, which is completely opposite to them.
Considering all these factors, the deputy said to Li Sheng in great embarrassment: "It's mainly because it's hard to explain to other people."
"Other people? Explain? What to explain? If the person is dead, there's no need to explain to other people."
Li Sheng knew what the deputy was thinking, so he used the president's words to block his mouth: "Do you know the warning given by the president of the Psychic Society?"
"An Wuping has experienced two dimensional infections. Each dimensional infection is equivalent to providing a coordinate for another dimension."
"Such a person may have some value if he is alive, and someone will protect him, but if he dies, no one will care at all."
"But..."
As soon as the deputy spoke, he was interrupted by Li Sheng with a hint of anger: "Zuo Jing's recipient died, his psychic effect was completely invalid, and the power of dimensional infection disappeared. All our previous losses and all our efforts were in vain."
"In the end, the biggest beneficiary was actually Odan, who had nothing to do with him. Can you accept this situation?"
The deputy was silent and did not dare to respond. Of course, he knew how much their Fifth Legion had lost, and he also knew how heavy such a loss was for Li Sheng.
Even their main fleet had a certain scale of civil unrest before the trip, and no one could deny their misery.
"But why is Odan the biggest beneficiary?"
Li Sheng pointed at his deputy's nose and asked, "Let me ask you, what is the biggest benefit we can get from this Caimo Star Region incident?"
The deputy didn't care about Li Sheng's attitude, after all, he was used to it.
He thought carefully for a long time and asked tentatively: "Solve Zuo Jing?"
Li Sheng denied: "Solve Zuo Jing will benefit everyone."
"Those research results published by Zuo Jing? Our Fifth Corps has unprecedented control over the Caimo Star Region. We can rely on the samples left by Zuo Jing in the Caimo Star Region for research."
"Everyone has the research plan for dimensional infection. When Zuo Jing published those things, he didn't care who could get these plans."
"We can't preserve those samples at all. In the end, they will fall into the hands of other forces."
"Whether it is the Psychic Society or the Fanchao Research Institute, they have the ability to snatch these things from us."
"And don't ignore one person, Hu Yi. There is a problem with his logic. It is obvious that his overall view is fine, but he is prone to make mistakes in some small things that Aunt Xu makes quick decisions."
"Most people don't do this. Someone is teaching him to do things behind the scenes."
"Hu Yi was taken to another galaxy by Zuo Jing before. Like An Wuping, he was used as a bait to distract our combat power by Zuo Jing."
The deputy said: "I remember that galaxy..."
"Our fleet lost the battle in that galaxy and gave the entire galaxy to Zuo Jing. The strongest person in that galaxy is Hu Yi."
"Before the psychic of Zuo Jing was killed by An Wuping, there was already news that the galaxy was recaptured."
"Who did it? It can only be him."
Li Sheng asked himself and answered, and commented on Hu Yi as if he was very familiar with him; "The difference between him and An Wuping is that An Wuping will clean up those things that violate human public order and morality."
"This can be seen from what An Wuping did. There was no Zuo Jing alive in all the Zuo Jing strongholds that he found, and no Zuo Jing research results survived. "An Wuping's attitude towards these things is to clean them up completely, leaving only some paper evidence to prove that these studies have existed." "But for Hu Yi, since he was able to cooperate with people who had connections with Zuo Jing before, it is definitely not a problem to keep these samples on the Zuo Jing space station now." "And Hu Yi has never been removed from the Psychic Society... Do you remember how Hu Yi was on the Psychic Wanted List before?" Li Sheng also answered himself without waiting for his deputy to answer: "Hu Yi took the initiative to assist in attacking Chen Ming, who has a close relationship with the president of the Psychic Society and is also the most outstanding newcomer of the new generation of the Psychic Society. He was not removed from the list." "Think about the things inside." Li Sheng said in a warning tone: "So we are not the only one who has obtained the research samples of Zuo Jing. The power of this force, this is not our biggest benefit, keep thinking. "
The deputy has already got the answer from what Li Sheng just said: "Is it An Wuping himself?"
This time Li Sheng did not refute, and admitted: "It's him."
"A person who has just returned from disappearance, has no power affiliation, can lurk and endure, has survived two dimensional infections in a row, and killed the source of dimensional infection, and has the ability to kill many high-level psychics of Zuojing in a row. Is such a person the biggest benefit in this matter? "
"Think about how An Wuping got here?"
The deputy quickly gave an answer with recorded content: "After clearing out a Zuojing space station in the Odan star field, he ran all the way to Caimo openly, was framed by Zuojing on the way, and mixed with Zuojing. After arriving in the color ink star domain, he finally entered the super space through his own body, and came to Luxi through some kind of spiritual ability. "After speaking, the deputy added another sentence:" Only the last record is a bit blurred, and the others can be sure. " "Anthane" "Yes" "He has helped Audan, and Audan also helped him." "Come out for Anwa Ping." "Audan quietly changed his place of peace before, do you remember that Audan had become a joke before, and pulled a felony 5th -level spiritual ability to his own star area. ”
“We suffered the greatest loss and failed to gain the greatest benefit.”
“There is a connection between Odan and An Wuping that we don’t know about, so where do you think An Wuping will go in the end? Who can gain the greatest benefit?”
The deputy understood Li Sheng’s idea at this point. If he couldn’t get it, then no one else could either.
Although it’s a bit bad, it’s indeed a plan that can be chosen when necessary.
But…
“…Why don’t we try to recruit An Wuping?”
“I tried.”
The deputy was stunned. How could he not know about this?
Li Sheng explained: “I specifically looked for the people closest to An Wuping. They are the ones I sent out to find the receiver of Zuo Jing. You know them. "
The deputy felt his scalp tingling.
How could he not know about the people Li Sheng sent out? Each of them was a psychic, and each of them was arrogant and of poor quality.
If Li Sheng had not been helping them all the time, they would definitely have offended a lot of people.
It would be fine to give them some combat reconnaissance and infiltration tasks.
Giving them the task of recruiting civilians and asking them to find An Wuping, isn't this a joke?
The deputy was about to speak a few words to persuade Li Sheng to stop whitewashing Yun Luoxing and send some suitable people to try to recruit An Wuping.
Li Sheng's fingers tapped lightly on the table next to him.
The deputy raised his head slightly and saw Li Sheng's eyes.
This look contained complex emotions.
But the deputy could clearly see the dissuasion in his eyes, asking the deputy not to say more.
And the deputy could also clearly see the deepest ruthlessness in Li Sheng's eyes.
He immediately lowered his head and closed his lips tightly.
The situation was clear, it was Li Sheng who deliberately asked those guys to recruit An Wuping.
Li Sheng seemed to have some additional purpose.
The deputy didn't understand the reason, but Li Sheng had more seniority in the Fifth Corps than him, had been there longer than him, and had made more contributions than him.
As Li Sheng's deputy, he just had to assist Li Sheng in doing things. Questions should only be pointed out by him when Li Sheng clearly made some fundamental mistakes.
Now this is nothing at all.
And when their Fifth Corps decided internally whether to obtain the power of the dimensional infection released by Zuo Jing.
This proposal was the most critical vote cast by Li Sheng.
It was also Li Sheng who took the initiative to ask him to take command and took the risk to personally support the battle.
And he also sent important trusted men to work on the planet occupied by Zuo Jing, which is at risk of dimensional infection at any time.
It can be said that Li Sheng is greedy for credit, but the danger that Li Sheng faces is also real.
Such a person
will definitely not do anything harmful to the Fifth Legion as a whole.
The deputy looked at Li Sheng with trust in his eyes.
Li Sheng also slowed down his tone of speech when he saw this: "So this is no longer my own preference, but a problem of our Fifth Legion."
"The loss is the greatest, the gain is the smallest, and everyone will laugh at us."
"I am also reluctant to do this kind of thing."
"Anyway, An Wuping is a psychic who has extreme hatred for Zuo Jing, which is good,"
"But it's not good for us. His existence will make us lose prestige, so we have no choice."
We...
The deputy immediately felt that he understood something and nodded.
"Then let's do it. You go and handle this matter. If necessary, just pretend to be dead. Just get scolded a few times and it will be over."
"Learn more from those politicians. They are thicker-skinned than the armor of the battleship. As long as they are thick-skinned and do not violate the bottom line, there is nothing they can't do?"
The deputy completely understood what Li Sheng meant, prepared to handle the whole thing, and turned to leave the command room.
However, just after he walked out of the command room for more than ten meters, he suddenly thought of a problem.
What if An Wuping is still alive? If such a psychic survives, wouldn't it cause more problems for their prestige?
He wanted to turn around and ask, but in the end he didn't turn around.
Li Sheng always has his reasons for doing things. Before he ordered this to be done, he should have thought of various possible developments.
Or he made a plan to make a certain situation absolutely impossible.
He continued to walk out.
Li Sheng in the command room looked at the door that had just closed, but in his mind he was thinking whether he needed to change a deputy who would not have so many problems.
While Li Sheng in the command room and his deputy explained the reasons for his actions,
Chen Ming was still driving on the way to the aerospace airport.
However, the speed of ground vehicles was too slow compared to the speed of main battleships in space.
According to Chen Ming's calculations, if he continued at this speed, he would definitely not be able to get to the airport in time and find a suitable spaceship to escape.
If he chose to enter the insect state, his mental strength would not be enough to support him to reach the nearest airport or directly leave the planet's atmosphere.
Digging underground, there was no way to dig deep enough to withstand the heat pulse laser.
It seemed that it was really too late.
An Wuping seemed to be dead.
Fortunately, the impact was not too great. An Wuping was just a prosthesis after all. He was supposed to replace Chen Ming to do some dangerous things that he could not do personally. Death should be the fate of the prosthesis.
Wait for death quietly and get a new one later.
It was a pity for the fused chaos source in An Wuping's heart.
It was gone before it could be used.
No.
Speaking of the origin of chaos, Chen Ming suddenly remembered that there seemed to be another psychic power that could save An Wuping's life.
That [Spiritualization] that passively transforms the body into a pure spiritual body when the psychic is about to die.
Although his spiritual power seems to be insufficient now, if he accumulates spiritual power from now on and only transforms part of the body, he should be able to protect a small part of the body.
As long as a part can be protected, such as the most core Zerg core that integrates the origin of chaos, that is, An Wuping's heart, An Wuping can survive.
Although it is not known whether the protection of the prosthesis will affect Chen Ming's own spiritual state, how can he know if he doesn't try it?
His ability to sense danger is not free.
After Chen Ming thought of this, he immediately calmed down, stopped all actions that might consume his mental power, and silently waited for his mental power to recover.
While waiting, Chen Ming suddenly thought of another thing, that is, his prosthesis at the branch of the 14th Corps was still on the phone with the president, and the communication had not been disconnected.
So Chen Ming immediately asked the president a question that he was very concerned about: "Who is the commander who ordered the cleanup of the Fifth Corps?"
"Why are you asking this?"
Chen Ming couldn't say that he was looking for an opportunity to retaliate if An Wuping was not saved, so he immediately made up a reason and said: "Ask, An Wuping has the same purpose as us, but in the end he was stabbed in the back by this person. I don't want to follow An Wuping's footsteps."
This answer is reasonable, and the president did not doubt it, and told Chen Ming the answer: "A commander from the Fifth Headquarters, named Li Sheng."
"He was supposed to go to the front line to rotate with the Seventh Corps, but this time the Fifth Corps was seriously injured. I estimate that the Seventh Corps should continue to be stationed on the front line and wait for the Fifth Corps to recover."
"The Fifth Corps will definitely not run around during this period. You will have little chance to meet him. Even if he has some mean behavior, it will not affect you. Don't pay too much attention to him."
"Got it."
Chen Ming wrote down Li Sheng in his little notebook.
Li Sheng is in the limelight recently, so it is definitely not easy to target him.
But as long as the heat of Cai Mo's incident dies down after a while, he will always have a chance to retaliate, he is in the dark and Li Sheng is in the light.
Let's put personal matters aside for now.
Chen Ming continued to ask about the official business that the Psychic Association had to do now: "How many psychics were exposed to dimensional infection this time? Will the pressure on you to prevent and control dimensional infection be too great?"
"Don't worry about this, I have already made a lot of preparations."
"And those psychics are also aware of it. Their lives are their own, so there is no need to fill in for others."
"Many people were evacuated as soon as the problem appeared on Yunluoxing. The number of psychics who were not evacuated and really exposed to dimensional infection is not large, and they can all be checked."
"At that time, the list of these people will be listed separately, and we will find opportunities to manage them uniformly or disperse them. Just don't get in touch with things related to dimensional infection again."
"Don't worry too much about prevention and control issues."
"The number of people who can survive among those who have been exposed to dimensional infection will be much less than you think."
Chen Ming interrupted and asked, "How many psychics have experienced dimensional infection?"
"There are more than 20 psychics at present. If we count the ones who may come later, the total number is expected to be no more than 40."
"Finally There shouldn't be more than 20 people who can survive."
Chen Ming asked in surprise: "Even the mortality rate of psychics is so high?"
"Yes, it seems that many people have survived the dimensional infection, but their survival is only temporary."
"If they can't use their psychic power to completely protect themselves until they are out of the direct impact area of the dimensional infection, even if they relax for only half a second, the dimensional infection will completely penetrate their bodies."
"Even if they can be treated in time and undergo organ removal surgery, the survival rate will not be too high."
"This is because the target of the dimensional infection this time is the intestines. If it is other organs, the consequences will be more serious and the mortality rate will be even higher."
"These are the results of my analysis through the established data model, which should be similar to the actual situation."
Chen Ming has never really understood how to improve the survival rate of psychics affected by the dimensional infection. After all, as far as he knows, he and the president are the only psychics who have survived the dimensional infection so far, and only the president will study this specifically.
However, this did not prevent him from proposing an idea: "Can cryo-hibernation temporarily prevent the spread of dimensional infection?"
"No, people can hibernate, but dimensional infection cannot. Once a psychic is infected by a dimension, surgery must be performed immediately. A slight delay may lead to full infection of the organs and spread to other organs."
"The impact of dimensional infection has become serious. There is no difference between psychics and ordinary people."
Chen Ming could not help but say: "It's like a special cancer."
"Cancer has long been conquered, and cancer cells will not get up on the operating table and fight with doctors."
"So this is another reason that limits the survival rate of psychics infected by dimensions. We don't have so many doctors who at least have certain psychic abilities and can use the equipment I designed to protect themselves."
"It's barely possible to use medical robots and ordinary psychics, but it is definitely not as efficient as specialized psychic doctors."
"So there are really few people who can survive dimensional infection."
"There is no need for prevention and treatment."
Just as Chen Ming's 14th Legion's prosthesis and the president were discussing dimensional infection.
An Wuping had already stopped the car and was waiting quietly by the roadside.
He kept gathering his mental power and preparing for the spiritualization.
Of course, it is also possible that the spiritualization would fail and An Wuping would be vaporized by the direct heat pulse laser.
After all, the black fog psychic energy could be restricted by strong light, and it was unknown whether some life-saving psychic energy could be effective under the bombardment of the main weapons of the battleship.
While Chen Ming was resting on the spot, some flesh and blood monsters were tracking the movements he made along the way and gradually approaching, trying to assimilate An Wuping into their part.
And in the distance, the red meteors that were enough to destroy a cruiser with activated shields were constantly leaving terrible scars on the surface.
Chen Ming could even see two or three scattered shuttles that did not know which forces they belonged to were leaving the planet in a hurry.
It was unknown whether these psychics who were notified too late and were definitely infected by the dimension could seize this last chance.
Chen Ming did not care about them. For him, An Wuping's spiritualization was the most important thing.
Just as his heartbeat gradually slowed down and he was concentrating his mind to face the impending danger.
He suddenly saw a shuttle that was still in the air in the distance. It suddenly seemed to notice him, turned a nearly right angle, and flew towards him at high speed.
At the edge of the open hatch of the shuttle was the psychic from the Odan star field who had chased An Wuping all the way, Liang Fei.
Liang Fei held one hand in the cabin and stretched out the other hand.
A chain constructed by psychic fluctuations appeared from his palm and was thrown towards An Wuping.
"Hold on tight!"
