Chapter 497 Even Cheating on One's Own People

"Less than a kilometer away directly below, we found three lines of defense composed of heavy mechas from the Extreme East Branch of Counter-Entropy, each about six hundred meters apart. As long as we break through these three lines of defense, we can enter the internal defense line of Haiyuan City...

"A target suspected to be a Valkyrie airship has been detected directly above the sea level. The target sequence is being analyzed - the analysis is completed. The Valkyrie combat airship serial number is EA-0019 (S), which belongs to the Southeast Asian branch's Snow Lotus Team. We were Attacked!"

"I didn't expect... Tianming's pursuers would come so quickly?"

Theresa bared her teeth, and the expression on her face was certainly not very pretty.

"It's normal. If your grandfather Otto Apocalypse was in the same position in our time, he would have done much better than the group of people we faced at that time. Just relying on the information in his hands After analyzing and reasoning, combined with the records of our stop in Macau for supplies, it would be even more strange not to guess that our target is Haiyuan City.

"Besides, my former comrade must also understand that if you want to defeat him, you must rescue that person from his seal. If he continues to 'selflessly' share this information with your grandfather, then... "

"That means that the pursuers we have to face may not only be Destiny's Snow Lotus Squad. No matter how arrogant Otto is, he will not think that just a dozen A-level Valkyries of the Snow Lotus Squad can defeat the Hyperion. . There will definitely be a pursuit force sent by the World Serpent - although Mikael helped us defeat the Second Herrscher at the last moment, it is best not to have high expectations for him. "

Ai Yin was stroking her chicken coop-like hair as usual. After hearing this, Theresa could do nothing but nod.

The existence of the World Serpent is actually not a secret. It is a miracle that such a huge organization can hide for ten years without being discovered. It is completely unimaginable that it can hide for a hundred years without being discovered... So what if it is five thousand years?

There must be a lot of clues, just like Immortal Red Yuan once lived in seclusion in China, but as soon as you enter the world, you will know that Immortal Chi Yuan really exists, and there are many legends about immortals among the people.

The same is true for the World Serpent. The traces they left behind are more extensive. It can be said that even the religious background behind the birth of Destiny is full of the colors of the World Serpent. It is impossible for such an ancient and huge organization to be lurking without anyone knowing about it. Whether it is Otto, who has been in contact with Mikael for a long time, or Anti-Entropy, which has only been established for more than half a century, everyone knows about the "Snake" The existence of the World Serpent is also well aware of the fact that he has been penetrated by the World Serpent. It can even be said that this kind of reverse infiltration and reverse infiltration of the World Serpent has always been the most important thing for Destiny and Anti-Entropy besides fighting against Honkai and each other. task.

However, just like most things in this world, Theresa was really unaware of this before. Fortunately, now that Hyperion and Anti-Entropy have joined forces, she has not been idle these days, and has compiled the Anti-Entropy database. I have read all the information about "World Snake". Although most of them are distant legends, and modern records are fragmented, she still extracted some valid information, such as - the World Snake has been vacant for a long time, and under Kiana In the early morning of the day before the accident, the actual leader of the World Serpent, "Dr. Mebius", announced the return of the "Lord" to all members of the World Serpent.

The news came a little late. Both Theresa and Einstein felt this way. But now it seems that this is the news that World Snake deliberately delayed in releasing.

"Compared to Cocolia, the pursuers behind us will obviously be more difficult."

Mei stood between Einstein and Theresa. When she clasped her hands on her chest and spoke calmly, Theresa felt a bit like Dr. Einstein, but in some places she was even more uncomfortable. Likewise, I always felt a slight stinging sensation when the air vibration caused by her opening swept across my cheek.

This tingling feeling may be due to unfamiliarity, or it may not be, but Theresa didn't have time to think about this carefully.

"The World Snake won't hope that their cadres can deal with us. It should be Mikael or Mebius who comes in person. In short, the pursuers above are much more troublesome than Cocolia."

Theresa covered her forehead and felt a burning sensation, which was the perfect explanation for "burnt out".

"No, the Valkyrie combat airship can dive at least twice as fast as the Hyperion. It took us four hours to dive to a depth that they only needed two hours. By then we would be stuck in Cocolia. Between them, even if they can quickly defeat Cocolia's troops, the dive speed is too slow and they will not be able to enter the Abyss City defense line..."

"Ah, that's right."

Ai Yin put down the hand stroking her hair, and her dark blue eyes trembled slightly to the side, looking at Mei who was standing upright and motionless.

Noticing her gaze, Mei turned her head slightly and smiled back.

"Mikael can calculate that we will come here, so Dr. Mei, you must also have calculated that she can think of this. In other words, the current situation is not something that you need to use your brains to think about. It's something that can be obtained just by instinct. Result. So, if there are any preparations, or if there is anything we need to do, please let Dr. Mei speak directly... Ah, by the way, my noisy colleague has not appeared since Macau, I'm afraid. It has something to do with your preparations.”

For Einstein, it was extremely rare to say such a long sentence that had nothing to do with science in one breath in her life, which was longer than Theresa's.

In response, Mei's smile remained unchanged-

"Yes, the comrade who boarded the ship with me should have been upgrading the Moonlight Throne engine you copied with Dr. Tesla these days. At that time, the supplies in Macau, except for a small amount of ammunition and water, the rest were the parts needed for the upgrade. When I was at the Anti-Entropy Headquarters, I read your copy report on the Moonlight Throne engine. What needs to be improved, what materials are needed, and how much is needed have been planned in advance. We have also seen the drawings of the Hyperion. The strength of the hull is fully sufficient to support a diving speed of about five times the current speed. There is no need to worry about this aspect. After these few days, the transformation should be completed, right?"

Although there was a questioning tone at the end of the words, there was no "uncertainty" in Mei's expression.

"You... didn't tell us this?"

"You're being too unfair to me. The best tactical deception is to deceive your own people. If even your own people can't predict what will happen next, then the enemy can't either. Besides, both Otto and Mobius are people with a strong desire for control, and Mikael... In short, these three people will carefully calculate the time when making specific plans to ensure that when the coalition forces of World Serpent and Destiny catch up with us, they will form a situation of attacking Cocolia from the front and back, so we just need to make everyone think that our diving speed is only this fast. Besides, Dr. Einstein should have discovered it from the beginning."

"Well, after all, Dr. Tesla still has a strong presence. She has been away for several days in a row, and I wonder if my ears are deaf."

Einstein pointed his index finger at his ears, lifting the long hair hanging by his ears to one side.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the top scientists of the two eras to exchange their feelings, Theresa turned her head away awkwardly-of course she also found that Dr. Tesla was missing. Although it was only a short time together, as Einstein said, Tesla's presence was too strong to be ignored. But even if she noticed it, she didn't care. On the one hand, she naturally thought that this anti-entropy doctor might have his own ideas. On the other hand, all her energy was still in the battle not long ago... so even if she found some abnormalities, she didn't have the energy to think carefully.

"Ding——"

An exclamation mark appeared on the edge of the display screen in front of the three people. Ai Yi automatically opened the message, which had only three letters and two punctuation marks:

"V: OK!"

"This means..."

"Of course it means that the Moonlight Throne Engine MKII Plus version has passed the final test of Vivi and can be put into formal use."

Mei slowly spread her hands, and her voice was so calm that there was no ups and downs, even more flat than the voice of a robot.

But the next moment, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and her eyes behind the lenses narrowed, and her words finally carried a feeling that could perhaps be called "eager":

"What are you waiting for, Theresa! Start at full speed and break through the defense line of Cocolia in one breath!"

…………

"Ding Ding Ding!"

The sonar on the Valkyrie airship, which was modified for the mission, suddenly issued a shrill alarm. The green battleship icon representing the Hyperion was rushing towards the dense red dots on the seabed. On the display screen next to the sonar, the number representing the distance between the two began to soar rapidly, and the color also flashed directly from green to red, which meant that the trend of the distance between the two changed from shrinking to expanding.

Rita's eyes flashed, and she said nothing.

Mebius, who was sitting opposite her, also showed a rare "dazed" expression.

After a blink of an eye, she bit her finger happily, without any sign of nervousness on her face:

"Not bad, I should say... worthy of being Mei?"

Things have changed, of course she will not remain indifferent, but at least she should appear calm on the surface, after all, the junior opposite did not show any surprise, she can't embarrass herself, can't embarrass the world snake, and can't embarrass... their era.

"Ahem!"

Rita cleared her throat and slowly spoke in an awkward but polite tone:

"Oh, I drank a little too much water before, Dr. Mebius, I'm going to the toilet, okay?"

"Hehe! I'm not your teacher, and this is not a classroom. Oh? Did you forget to raise your hand and shout report just now?"

"Haha, elegance, never out of date."

Seeing Rita's back disappear into the cabin as the cabin door closed, Mebius moved his body closer to the hard and cold seat, sneering and not exposing Rita's excuse.

What's going to the toilet? It's obvious that she went to report the situation to her bishop and ask for instructions.

"Crack"

The nail was bitten into a gap, and the enamel surface of the tooth seemed to be damaged, and it hurt.

"What bad luck!"

Without caring about his image, Mebius spat out the small piece of nail he bit off and supported his head with his hands.

Chen Tianwu was actually sitting next to her, one body away, but he and Anna, who was sitting opposite him, seemed to have fallen asleep since they sat down. The two of them moved in unison, lowered their heads, put their legs together, and placed their hands on their knees in a proper manner, just like little kids on their first day of kindergarten.

If Anna had been smarter, Rita wouldn't have needed to find an excuse to report to Otto. Maybe Rita is still confused now, not knowing how her deputy became like this.

But Mebius knew everything. He glanced at the two young people who were lowering their heads and autistic, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up.

"What a naive age..."

If the two of them paid attention to each other, they would have discovered something, right?

It was about raising half of their heads, but neither of them did it. Perhaps both of them felt something, at least - she/he didn't forget about herself.

But how to confirm it?

If I raised my head rashly, would it make me look like I was full of inner drama and looked down?

What if I raised my head and my eyes met, what should I do? Will they misunderstand each other, leading to more embarrassing consequences?

Rather than that, maybe it's better not to look up at all.

This set of thinking is too familiar to Mebius.

How to say it, at least for Anna, this kind of thinking of forcing yourself to play a role in your heart when getting along is worthy of the surname "Shaniat".

Should I give these two little guys some hints?

The five fingers of Mebius supporting his cheeks moved rhythmically like waves. There was some inexplicable entanglement in her heart. After ten seconds, she finally gave up that plan.

This kind of thing has been seen once 50,000 years ago. She is actually looking forward to whether the descendants of those two guys can do something that makes her eyes shine.

Thinking too far - Mebius tapped his head lightly.

Mebius cast his eyes back to the console. The distance between the Valkyrie airship and the Hyperion is inevitably still expanding.

Speaking of which, Rita has been gone for a while, but I think she has just finished explaining the situation.

She has done so, and Mebius is also thinking about whether he should inform Mikael...

After a brief thought, Mebius once again gave a negative conclusion.

Even if he was informed, it seems that there is no better solution except for him to appear here directly, so it is better not to say it.

Anyway, for Mebius, variables are variables. She is not afraid of death because she can't really die.

What's more, in front of her, Yulandel is fine, but what threat are those little brats on the Hyperion to her?

It's decided, that's it.

Mebius crossed his legs, and at this moment, the hatch opened, and Rita walked back expressionlessly. (End of this chapter)
