Chapter 679 After the Funeral
Chapter 679 After the funeral
An hour later, the battlefield was cleaned. The bodies of the dead were loaded on mechas and chariots and transported back to the station. Due to the lack of necessary preservation conditions and the lack of desecration by mutant rats, insects, etc., the Fearless Team's method of handling is to cremate the bodies and bury the ashes. In order to avoid excessive impact on the lives of survivors, the funeral was held that night, and it was highly simple and concise.
Lin Zaishan's funeral, facing more than 2,000 members of the Fearless Team, loudly declared: "The deceased have not died, they still live in our hearts. They exchanged us with their fearlessness and sacrifice spirit for us to survive and defended the hope and dignity of mankind. We will remember them forever. Let us bow to them with lofty respect and incomparable grief and observe a minute of silence."
After the silent ceremony, Lin Zaishan continued: "Everyone: In today's world, the external environment has undergone fundamental changes, and the core force of survival competition has shifted from technology to star soul knowledge and technology. Whoever can master more, deeper and better star soul knowledge and technology will dominate the end of the world. Our threats and competitors to survive in the end of the world not only have human forces that are contrary to our beliefs, but also include zombies, mutant beasts, Zergs, natural disasters, star soul herders, and it is not even ruled out that there will be other mysterious opponents. Any of the above threats is enough to destroy humanity, and as we enter the deep end of the world, some threats become more and more serious, becoming butchers hanging on our foreheads."
While Lin Zaishan was speaking, his eyes swept across everyone. He saw Wang Ziqiang, Feifeng, Sima Te, Zhutou Authentic Brothers, Brother Qiang and other people who were left behind in this battle due to lack of powerful equipment, as well as logistics and civilian personnel such as San Grandma, Qu Youyou, as well as guests Fridge, Schwaronson and Li Wenxiu who came to attend the funeral.
"We must change our mindsets, adjust our understanding of the world, explore openly, and discover unknown areas. We spare no effort to study the knowledge and technology of the star soul. Only in this way can we gain a place in this cruel end of the world. Otherwise, as short as a few months or as long as a few years, we will be eliminated and eliminated by terrible forces."
Everyone was attracted by Lin Zaishan's words and listened attentively. They had more or less realized the problems and possibilities that Lin Zaishan said, but they lacked the guidance of a leader and professional who was proficient in this. Correspondingly, the Fearless Team has faith, discipline, organization, talent, and prestige, but their comprehensive strength is only a second-rate even in China, and is not as good as Zhongcheng and the Holy Temple. The Fearless Team has developed many tactics, technologies and products with high practical value based on their own conditions, characteristics and external environment, but has never been able to reverse their disadvantages when facing the Zerg army.
Lin Zaishan's return not only established the backbone and brought about a huge idol effect, but also made up for the most critical and fatal shortcomings and gaps of the Fearless Team in terms of knowledge and technology.
"I hereby solemnly promise that I will never let all the brothers and sisters of the Fearless Team passively be beaten in the face of the threat of the end of the world. We must seize the commanding heights of the knowledge and technology of astrology and soul, and dominate the process and steps of mankind from the end of the world! We must not only save and unite all kind survivors and intelligent lives in China, but also in the world, and in the future, and even the entire universe, work together to create a brilliant future!"
Lin Zaishan did not intentionally exert any superpowers during his speech, but it triggered unprecedented passion of the attendees. Everyone raised their arms excitedly and shouted in unison to "create the future."
//////////////
After the funeral, guests were placed and an emergency meeting was held immediately. The first thing at the meeting was that Sun Zhenghong announced Lin’s return in the mountains and handed over the highest command of the Fearless Team on the spot.
Lin Zaishan didn't have the time and thought about playing the role of "three remarks and three requests" and took office immediately.
The first thing he did after taking office was to immediately upgrade and update the intelligent control system of the Fearless Team - Master Lin - replaced the original AI with the latest version of Sai. Master Lin now uses star soul technology extensively, using many programmed low-level star souls as energy and components, and can freely and seamlessly integrate with various technological products and dominate the latter, but it is faster and more powerful than the latter.
The original Master Lin mainly relies on basic physical, chemical and electronic signals to perceive and monitor the environment. The current Master Lin can fully integrate the advantages of machines and life and surpass these two. The original Master Lin performs actions by manipulating electrons and machinery. The current Master Lin can control almost all external objects that humans can control through the star soul, and releases superpowers like a psychic.
The superpower only has one dominant star soul as the carrier and operating system of his life, and Master Lin can exist in and control multiple star soul primordials at the same time; the superpower's use of superpowers is subject to the individual star soul state, and the individual's calling process of the star soul energy, code and superpower is very limited, while Master Lin is infinite.
Master Lin also has to abide by the laws of energy overload, but its overload threshold is much higher than that of ordinary psychics. In a sense, as long as there is a constant supply of star souls, Master Lin will never be tired or exhausted. As the creator of Master Lin, Lin Zaishan has accommodated no less than 50,000 low-level star souls in his own star soul world. He has currently equipped Mr. Lin with dozens of programmed low-level star soul primordials for Master Lin as components of the control system (hereinafter referred to as star soul elements), and in the near future, this number will increase to thousands. If some theoretical and technical levels are overcome, the combined power of these star soul elements can completely exceed the strongest known existence on Earth - the Star Soul Shepherd. At that time, as long as you are equipped with enough weapons and tools, as long as Master Lin is one, it will be enough to ensure absolute safety within a few kilometers around.
Not all upgrades and updates require Lin Zaishan to do it himself. Some simple and repetitive work can be completed by Master Lin. Therefore, during the meeting, the intelligent control system of the Fearless Team was already evolving itself at a speed that everyone could not imagine.
//////////////
The second task Lin Zaishan arranged was to listen to reports from various units and understand the current situation in the Fearless Team, Shencheng and even China.
"There are currently about 30,000 survivors in Shencheng, of which more than 2,000 of our Fearless Team." Sun Zhenghong introduced: "In the period when you are away, we did not blindly expand our scale, but instead selected the best from the best and focused on training and improvement of existing members. This is an important reason why our Fearless Team can maintain strong combat power and cohesion."
"How is the situation in Zhongcheng and other settlements?" Lin Zaishan asked. He had read a lot of information from Master Lin's database, but he still believed that people's memories and feelings were irreplaceable.
"The power of Zhongcheng is much stronger than that of Shencheng. They now have about 50,000 survivors, and the infrastructure, industrial system, technical equipment, etc. are more solid and developed than Shencheng."
"That's what He Xiaotian did a good job."
"Captain Lin, you don't know that He Xiaotian is no longer the decision of the central city. Shortly after you disappeared, a large number of survivors moved from the capital, and the leader was called Huo Qiankun. The current central city is He Xiaotian, and Huo Qiankun is fighting openly and secretly, and the scenery is evenly matched."
"Oh? It turns out that there are so many survivors in the capital. Thank God!" Lin Zaishan lacked interest in the power struggle between He Xiaotian and others, and he cared more about Chinese survivors.
"The dispute between Xiaolin, He Xiaotian and Huo Qiankun is not purely their affairs. It concerns the future and destiny of urban residents and even the entire Chinese survivors, and is also closely related to our Fearless Team." Wu Chaoqun reminded.
"Chat Qun said it well." Lin Zaishan was so smart that he immediately figured out and figured out a lot of truths. "What kind of person is Huo Qiankun?"
"We have never seen it with our own eyes." Sun Zhenghong replied: "I only occasionally listen to him chatting when talking to Principal Wang on a remote phone. Principal Wang said that Huo Qiankun is ambitious, knowledgeable and good at using people, strong affinity, and has a leadership style. In addition, he is the uncle of the beautiful journalist Li Yan."
"So, Huo Qiankun is enough to be called He Xiaotian's powerful competitor?"
"According to the information disclosed by Principal Wang, He Xiaotian was indeed a little worried by Huo Qiankun."
"How is He Annie now?" Lin Zaishan asked with concern.
Annie He was a woman who had been openly in the same relationship with Lin Zaishan. In the eyes of the Fearless Team and many others, she was the veritable woman of Lin Zaishan and the sister-in-law of the Fearless Team. At least the members of the Fearless Team have always been concerned about her movements.
"Captain, I thought you didn't want to mention it anymore." Zhiyangyang continued, "Since you disappeared last time, Miss He has mobilized all resources and strength to search for you at all costs. She has searched almost all the places you may go to."
Lin Zaishan had known that He Annie must have had this reaction, so he sighed, "I've made her suffer."
"Miss He doesn't care about anything else, and searches for you day and night for three months; but there is still no result, she..."
"What's wrong with her?" Lin Zaishan saw that Zhi Yangyang had a different tone, and he couldn't help but start to worry that something happened to He Annie.
"She never left home again. In the past year, Ms. He has never appeared in public."
"Then she is okay?" Lin Zaishan couldn't help but worry if He Annie had some serious illness.
"It should be fine." Zhiyangyang was not very sure.
"Miss He should be safe." Lan Yan interrupted: "Two months ago, Master Mu sent back a message saying that after he arrived in the middle city, Miss He had visited him in person and asked him to come to Captain Prill."
"Oh?" Lin Zaishan asked with interest: "Yes, since you are guarding Master Mu, you should be able to predict some news about me, right?"
Lan Yan shook his head, "Master Mu said that he didn't know why, and every time he wanted to predict something related to you, he would be blocked by a powerful force. If he forcibly predicted, he would still be hurt. His optic nerve damage and headaches are related to the accidents that Captain Lin had predicted after you disappeared."
"So that's it." Lin Zaishan suddenly remembered something new and screamed.
Everyone was surprised when they heard the sound. In their minds, Lin Zaishan's current strength was extremely close to that of a god. Is there anything else that could scare him?
"I found two serious bugs," Lin Zaishan said anxiously: "First, the last time I calculated based on my memory disappeared to today is less than a year, and the time I reported was nearly two years. There is a large time deviation. I can basically find a basis for explanation - this is related to my experience at sea; however, I need to revise the time parameters. What I am more worried about is the second problem."
"What's the problem, Captain Lin?"
"Before leaving the United States, I was worried about the safety of my Chinese compatriots, so I specially asked Master Kongse, who has the strength of the seventh-level star soul, to come first. But I have not seen him yet, and he has not taken the initiative to contact me; and Master Kongse did not appear in the suburbs of the city that just happened. I am very worried that something had happened to him."
"The seventh-level star soul powerhouse, even the star soul shepherd can't do anything, so why would something happen?"
"There are many terrifying existences on our planet. If Master Kong Se is negligent in preventing it, something may not happen."
"Can he go to Zhongcheng? He doesn't care about Shencheng and the Fearless Team? You know, due to the interference of sparrow bugs, the communication between the two cities has not been smooth recently."
Lin Zaishan nodded, "I hope this is the case. No matter what, I will go to Zhongcheng in the near future. I have surveyed just now. The terrain of Shencheng is not conducive to long-term persistence. If the Zergs dispatched a million troops, we will definitely not be able to compete. In addition, the underground structure of Shencheng has been severely damaged by mutant rats and excavator insects. If there is a little more geological disaster, we will suffer heavy losses."
"If Shencheng can't stay anymore, perhaps the only way out for us is to defect to Zhongcheng." Sun Zhenghong said: "But this matter is not a small matter. We should communicate with everyone before making a decision. Captain, please know that our whereabouts are closely related to the vital interests of all the forces in Shencheng."
Lin Zaishan nodded, "I will arrange the third task below: I plan to soar the strength of each member of the Fearless Team in about a week, and popularize the basic knowledge and basic skills of Star Soul in the entire team."
Everyone was very excited when they heard this, and those members who had already reached the threshold of the mysterious Star Soul were even more excited and restless.
"Captain, when will it start?" Du Ziming asked loudly.
“Start from now on.”
"Then can I come first?" Du Ziming didn't care about face and demeanor at this time.
Lin Zaishan said: "The upgrade and transformation of Star Soul is not about installing computer software. This work not only involves the dignity and personality of life, but also has high risks. If not, the target will be made into a monster. Lao Du, do you still have to compete for the first place?"
"Absolutely no problem!" Du Ziming took Wu Chaoqun's changes seriously. He speculated that Lin Zaishan would never take risks with his brothers if he was unsure of his character.
Chapter completed!
