Sheng Tiancheng is indeed still alive.
The so-called sacrifice was just an illusion. The conservatives arranged this to make everyone think that Sheng Tiancheng and the mecha crashed into the insect swarm together.
Only in this way can Sheng Tiancheng naturally escape from everyone's sight.
"While investigating Staff Officer Shi, the security department's agents searched his computer and found a set of encrypted communication records."
"This type of communication requires scanning iris data, and only the person himself can log in and send and receive messages."
Zhuang Yu said: "It can be confirmed that the other party is Sheng Tiancheng."
Zhan Chen nodded.
In fact, many people have questioned Sheng Tiancheng's life or death.
Sui Qi questioned Sheng Yi on the training ground, Yu Tang also pointed out the loopholes in the program logic, and even the Sheng family's house was still under Sheng Tiancheng's name because of the secret protection of the conservatives.
After talking with Yu Tang, Zhuang Yu took some time to look through the military archives.
Soon after Sheng Tiancheng disappeared, the military passed a regulation that stipulated that the families of missing persons would enjoy the same treatment as those who had died. Only after five years had passed would the missing person be considered officially dead and his property be allowed to be transferred.
So until now, all the assets of the Sheng family are still under the name of Sheng Tiancheng - even including Sheng Yi's specially made special assault mecha.
The information was obvious, but Sheng Yi just kept his eyes closed and ignored it.
The implanted program would not allow Shi Ji to raise these questions. As long as Shi Ji did not refute, Sheng Yi would always regard Shi Ji as the culprit who killed his father.
Zhan Chen asked: "Have you found out the purpose of Sheng Tiancheng's fake death and disappearance?"
"We are still investigating," Zhuang Yu said. "The conservatives have urgently destroyed a large number of paper files. These files have electronic backups and cannot be restored."
Zhuang Yu: "I called you because the Security Department just confirmed Sheng Tiancheng's location when he sent the last message."
Zhuang Yu: "I went to the Military Academy."
Zhan Chen held the phone in his hand and looked down at his watch.
It was already late at night and all the trainees had just finished their exercises and returned to the military academy to take a break. Everyone was so tired that they fell into a deep sleep.
"We are worried that they will attack Shi Ji again." Zhuang Yu said.
After learning about the insane "list" from Zhan Chen, Zhuang Yu became even more worried about the matter.
Although he didn't believe in Zhan Chen and Yu Tang's abilities, and this matter was related to S7, Zhuang Yu still couldn't let go completely: "I will take Shi Ji away tomorrow, please protect me tonight—"
"That's a question." Zhan Chen said, "Please put it aside."
Zhuang Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
The security department raced against time to track down the suspect all night long, and there were many noisy voices around them.
Zhuang Yu explained the most important things, said a few words to the people around him, and was about to hang up the call when Zhan Chen called him again: "Captain Zhuang."
Zhuang Yu stopped and asked: "What's wrong?"
"I'm thinking about something." Zhan Chen said, "Are you sure that Shengtiancheng Military Academy is targeting Shi Ji?"
Zhuang Yu was stunned.
After discovering that Sheng Tiancheng's target was the Military Academy, they considered other possibilities - after all, whether it was the list mentioned by Zhan Chen or the thorn in the side of the conservative remnants, the target was the young observer who had performed brilliantly in the exercise.
If something happened to Shi Ji, it would undoubtedly be an unimaginable and serious loss to the revolutionaries.
"Is Mr. Yu awake?" Zhuang Yu said, "Pu Ying wants to ask for your opinion—"
Zhan Chen: "Not yet."
Zhan Chen sat at the head of the bed, stroked Yu Tang's still cold forehead, and covered the corner of the quilt for him: "I have warned Sheng Tiancheng before."
Zhuang Yu was stunned: "What?"
"I warned you before," Zhan Chen said, "when you tried to make Shi Ji 'crash' in the insect swarm and turned Shi Ji into an AI silently."
For the conservatives, letting Shi Ji die in that battle is the safest way.
Just like the original content that Yu Tang received, Shi Ji came back alive from the insect tide, and after experiencing a series of plots, the fusion of human faces and AI in front of everyone would only cause a fierce backlash from public opinion.
Sheng Tiancheng will be ruined, Sheng Yi will never recover from the truth, and the only observer who can surpass the fused AI is Ye Hanfeng... The conservatives can hardly gain any benefit from this.
If he just wanted to find an excuse to escape, Sheng Tiancheng could just rush into the insect tide himself.
In the abandoned factory, Sui Qi once questioned Sheng Yi.
To the wingman, the danger deep in the insect tide is enough to be fatal. Why did Sheng Tiancheng know all this, but still forced Shi Ji to go into the insect tide with him as an observer
"Because... our original plan was not only to create an opportunity for Sheng Tiancheng to escape."
Zhuang Yu said in a hoarse voice: "You guys are going to let Shi Ji sacrifice himself in the insect tide."
Zhan Chen: “Yes.”
Zhuang Yu didn't speak immediately.
The strong fear made him feel a little nervous. Zhuang Yu couldn't help but take a deep breath and exhale slowly.
Zhuang Yu: "It makes sense that the main armor and the observer died at the same time."
Zhuang Yu whispered, "In this way, we can develop mechas in a logical way, and then, when needed, come up with a set of AI programs exclusive to wingmen, and gradually eliminate human observers..."
Zhuang Yu: "Did you stop me because of this?"
"No." Zhan Chen said.
Zhuang Yu was slightly stunned.
Zhan Chen: "I couldn't think so much at that time."
All we know is that Sheng Tiancheng wanted Shi Ji to die in that insect tide, and then let Shi Ji's consciousness and AI completely merge.
By that time, Shi Ji's knowledge had been taken over by employees sent by the Police Bureau.
If an employee suffers physical damage in the lower realm, it can be repaired by adjusting the data. Once he suffers mental trauma, the damage will be synchronized to the employee's own sea of consciousness.
This is not just a conspiracy against Shi Ji.
Zhuang Yu suddenly came to his senses and broke out in a cold sweat: "Mr. Yu—"
Zhan Chen: "I once warned Sheng Tiancheng."
At that time, he did not have enough authority to change more plots, and he could only force Sheng Tiancheng to give Shi Ji the order to return.
After that, Zhan Chen realized the urgency of time.
“As long as Sheng Tiancheng still remembers me, he won’t dare to touch Shi Ji.”
Zhan Chen: "You won't forget me."
Zhuang Yu felt a chill on his spine when he heard this: "What did you do to Sheng Tiancheng at that time?"
Zhan Chen stood up: "What? Just a gentle warning."
She walked to the window, drew aside the curtains, and the pale moonlight danced in through the gap.
"Check again and try another direction."
Zhan Chen said: "For the sake of the investigation, as long as you don't want to find Shi Ji, I will try not to show up."
Zhan Chen: "If you see me again, you might go crazy."
This is not wrong.
The next two days were peaceful at the Military Academy. The Security Department had deployed many undercover agents, but they were still unable to find any trace of Sheng Tiancheng.
Not only Shi Ji, but Ye Hanfeng and an exceptionally outstanding trainee who was under special protection also spent two days of rest safely without being disturbed in any way.
The Sheng residence, which has been the focus of attention, has always been empty. After Sheng Yi came back from the exercise, he has been training frantically in the training ground, as if he is ready to risk his life.
In various cases, the special warfare team's devil training was not affected and still kicked off as scheduled.
…
These trainees only had two days of rest, and before their fatigue had completely subsided, they were pulled out of the dormitory and thrown into a special training camp.
They have no names, only numbers, and they will receive inhuman and cruel special training here as trainees.
Zhuang Yu had been extremely busy these days. He had just returned from the military headquarters. Without a closer look, he casually waved his hand and sent away the training camp trainees who had just carried a log and ran fifty kilometers.
Dean Nie walked into the office with him, walked to the window, and casually glanced at the queue downstairs.
Seeing Sheng Yi appear in the crowd, Dean Nie couldn't help but frowned: "Why are you here too?"
"When the insect swarm was manipulated and went crazy, a small group also attacked the cadets who were transferred to the safe zone."
Behind Zhuang Yu, his assistant explained: "Although Sheng Yi was not on the main battlefield, he also put up resistance, which meets the requirements of this selection."
The deputy said: "Student Sheng Yi also submitted a reflection and admitted his mistakes..."
Dean Nie had a cold expression and frowned, and sat back at his desk without saying a word.
The deputy swallowed hard and closed his mouth.
Zhuang Yu did not shy away from saying, "Those conservatives have led a mechanical bug to the safe zone... They are trying to gain credit for Sheng Yi."
Sheng Yi’s mecha fighting skill was his strong point, so it shouldn’t be a problem for him to deal with the mechanical bugs whose strength had been weakened.
The conservatives were determined to promote Sheng Yi to become the strongest mecha operator. Seeing that Sheng Yi was unable to recover from the successive blows, they certainly would not be willing to stand idly by at this time.
Dean Nie asked in a deep voice: "Since you know this, why do you still ask me to do it?"
Whenever Dean Nie thought of what Sheng Yi did to Shi Ji, he felt extremely annoyed and didn't want to see him at all.
"At such a young age, you are so cruel and ruthless that you ordered someone to almost cripple your observer, which almost ruined Shi Ji's life. Now you just say you know you are wrong?!"
Dean Nie said in a cold tone: "You are the protagonist? We all have to revolve around you? Why do you have such good luck!"
The deputy was terrified when he heard this. He looked out the window at the students who were knocked to the ground again and again by the high-pressure water guns and were struggling in the mud to crawl over the barbed wire.
For the next hour, these trainees will be required to fight in the mud and water until someone can stand up.
The dinner point was five kilometers away. The half who arrived later would not be able to eat, while the half who arrived later would be considered lazy and slack in the combat training and would also be punished.
The deputy was a family member who had connections. He wanted to take advantage of his military merits for two years and then leave. I don't understand how this good luck could be considered.
Zhuang Yu poured a glass of water for Dean Nie, took out a document from the filing cabinet, and nodded to his deputy.
The deputy hurried out of the office as if he had been pardoned.
Zhuang Yu closed the door and said, "I sent Sheng Yi back. Someone asked me to take over."
Dean Nie frowned: "Who?"
"Pu Ke-xiong from the Security Department." Zhuang Yu said, "Sheng Yi is the bait."
Dean Nie was stunned for a moment, then took the document handed to him by Zhuang Yu.
Zhuang Yu: "These are all the investigation results of the Security Department against Sheng Tiancheng."
They originally thought that Sheng Tiancheng's target was Shi Ji, but Sheng Tiancheng had never appeared within two kilometers of Shi Ji. He had been keeping an eye on Ye Hanfeng for two days and had discovered that someone was trying to harm Ye Hanfeng.
After checking everyone, only the most unlikely candidate remained.
"Is Sheng Tiancheng coming back to look for Sheng Yi?"
Dean Nie also roughly knew the inside story, but he couldn't understand this assumption and shook his head: "How is it possible? Sheng Tiancheng would let his son know that he is still alive - not only alive, but also not a hero at all, but a traitor who fled from the battlefield?"
Zhuang Yu couldn't understand it either, but he still followed the Security Department's request: "We have to give it a try."
Just as he was about to speak again, he heard a knock on the door.
Zhuang Yu's eyes brightened slightly, he stopped talking, and quickly walked over to open the door.
"You guys have plans for someone else?" Dean Nie stood up. "You guys are busy. I'll step aside for a while."
Zhuang Yu stopped him and said, "Perhaps you need to meet this person."
Dean Nie was a little puzzled: "Why are you being so mysterious?"
"Some problems occurred with the heir of the Sui family. The current heir is in our special forces team. His name is Sui Qi."
Zhuang Yu said: "The family didn't let go and sent a professional manager to protect Sui Qi."
Dean Nie has always disliked this kind of family interfering in the military. He also knew that Sui Qi almost lost his life in the exercise, so he didn't say much and waved his hand: "He is not my student, so just go with the flow..."
Zhuang Yu opened the door and let the newcomer in to the office.
Dean Nie glanced around and suddenly stopped breathing. He stood up abruptly and stared at the man.
… Time seemed to go back twenty years in an instant.
Dean Nie was furious because his son insisted on transferring to the Mecha Department and working for Zhuang Yu as a mecha operator. He smashed the office and gritted his teeth to hand over all his belongings to customize the strongest and most durable mecha for his son.
Zhuang Yu pleaded for his own operator, and the two young men were kicked out by Dean Nie one by one. They were not allowed to return unless they became the top observer and the top operator of the entire alliance.
This anger has been lingering for twenty years.
For the past ten years, Nie Chi has been sulking with his father and always wanted to defeat Coach Sui once in a fair fight before returning to see Dean Nie.
Ten years later, Nie Chi lost the electron storm because of the accident.
The deputy captain of this special operations team and the deputy captain of the spearhead team has been using his own particles to call for help for his teammates.
Yu Tang found a lot of people along the particles, and after throwing them in a whole circle, he finally found a vague shadow that was about to dissipate at the edge of the storm.
Nie Chi could have gotten out on his own.
He voluntarily gave up the opportunity to leave the electronic storm and stayed inside to search for his lost comrades. He was not able to take the others away, so he could only try his best to wake up each of his gradually disappearing companions and keep them from falling asleep.
He used his own particles to make road signs and distress signals.
When Yu Tang pulled him out, he had already lost all his memories and was unconscious at the edge of the electronic storm.
I have lost too many particles. Apart from a name, I have forgotten who I am and what I want to do.
…
I asked that ball of light for help and introduced me to the game.
He joined the All-Round Housekeeping Department and became a professional manager hired by the Sui family for Sui Si. He recognized the light, so he took the initiative to give up the mission that was supposed to be his.
The penalty for mission failure is overtime.
Nie Chi took a deep breath, cleared his throat, and hugged Zhuang Yu tightly.
"Captain, do you need someone to drive the mecha?"
Nie Chi: "Free overtime, no money required."
