Chapter 1682 The Ember of Ambition
Ruby knew that her mother had been involved in a dispute beyond her control, just like dancing on a wire rope, she would sooner or later cut her feet into blood. This was not a problem that the rank of generals or the senior Hydra could solve. Even if the purpose of the alien alliance and the emperor was to protect humans, war would break out between the two for the sovereignty of the human race.
Her mother followed Hydra's logic and chose the most likely winner, rather than standing on the sovereignty of the human race. After all, even on the earth today, there are only a very small number of countries that truly have complete sovereignty. General Hale does not think that there is anything wrong with selling sovereignty in exchange for survival. The professors at Blue Crow Ridge Training Camp are top talents from various disciplines and are the reward for Hydra's long investment in the academic field. Among them, there are also international relations experts working in large think tanks. Perhaps.
In the logic of these think tanks, General Hale's behavior is indeed feasible, but Ruby doesn't think so. Compared to the alien alliance that doesn't know where they are and the details, Hydra is closer to them. She quietly put her hand on the hilt of the hunting knife at her waist. General Hale and the aliens in the conversation did not notice this because they both believed that they now had the initiative. The former believed that aliens needed to protect the earth, while the latter believed that General Hale had to rely on his own talents to control humans.
Ruby moved her footsteps and slowly, unobtrusively approached the aliens.
She had learned from the conversations of the alien that the Kerry man in front of him claimed to be from the Caseyus family and was the representative of the Hara Star aristocratic banker in the alien alliance. It seemed that under such an identity, the alien alliance did not need to deceive humans, but Ruby did not fully believe this statement. She knew that her mother did not. This was just a means of playing with power, but playing with power that she could not control would inevitably cost. If she could help her mother make a decision and stop this reckless transaction, even the Maliks and the Liszts would have to pay for their loyalty.
"I'm afraid we must pause this pleasant conversation."
The Kerry noticed that General Hale and Ruby's figures were flickering, like snowflake noises on the screen of the imaging tube climbed up, but the two humans were unaware of this. Ruby's whole body was stiff, and she thought that aliens had discovered her thoughts. After all, in many film and television works, aliens had the superpower of mind reading. In fact, the Kerry didn't notice her at all, because Ruby's fear was completely normal. General Hale also showed stiffness when he first came here, which made other alliance members secretly mock the earthlings who had no vision for being too primitive. Now, the behavior of showing superiority to her inheritors of genetic information makes the Kerry feel funny.
"We have a little problem here."
The Kerryman stabilized General Hale's mood with an extremely relaxed expression, as if it was just a small difficulty worth mentioning. It definitely did not intend to tell General Hale that the objects found at the observatory had a flight speed far exceeding that of ordinary asteroids and were still accelerating stably, which must be an artificial object. To be safe, the Kerryman did not intend to disclose anything. "The observatory found that some unstable asteroids were affected by the gravity of the chaotic, and may collided with the base space station. We temporarily need some energy to intercept the asteroid or change orbit. This kind of thing is very common at the edge of the halo, and even if it is just a scientific space station here, it has the ability to solve this small problem. And there seems to be a problem with the energy supply on your side. We might as well make an appointment for the next meeting... What about the five standard days of the earth?"
"I agree that we also need to finalize the aid time and aid package as soon as possible."
General Hale looked at his frightened daughter, and Ruby's face was filled with a surprised expression.
She is sure that as long as the alliance can fulfill its promise, the earth will usher in a new master. She is also sure that the only people on Earth who can contact the alien alliance can benefit from understanding the information monopoly of this information - she inevitably thinks of the South Vietnamese government supported by the United States before the Vietnam War, which is information that only scholars of history professionals can understand - General Hale firmly believes that she will not be as corrupt as the South Vietnamese government, and under her own rule, human beings will achieve development with the technology of the alien alliance. She also firmly believes that human beings would rather replace rulers than become extinct, and the five permanent members of the United Nations have to surrender under tremendous external pressure.
The current passing through the eyes before starting the device dissipated from the solidified air. When the bright light of the laboratory and the dazzling electric sparks burst into the retina again, Ruby couldn't help but close her eyes. The scorched marks imprinted on the eyes were still emitting pink and blue, disgusting glare. The device slowly stopped running, but the stinnitus of cable insulation rubber was still wandering in the air, and the tinnitus that penetrated the brain was still buzzing. Ruby didn't know whether she and her mother were transferred from the earth to the edge of the solar system by this device, or whether it was just a journey of consciousness and spirit. Everything just happened in their brains. The so-called alien alliance did not exist.
"Perform better next time, Ruby. You will have power in the future, and you must adapt to the feeling of using this machine as soon as possible." General Hale frowned, "What voice?"
Ruby, who was still in the tinnitus, did not notice at all. General Hale's face changed rapidly. She did not notice that her mother was anxiously calling the outside airborne squad through the radio. There was no response from both the radio and the laboratory gate, only gunshots, and several bad guesses ran through General Hale's mind, but none of them left behind. General Hale glanced at the laboratory gate, then pulled Ruby over and hurriedly ran deep into the laboratory. Ruby only felt her mother's hand clamping her wrist tightly like a clamp, and tears of pain immediately surged out.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Go in." General Hale entered the password and rudely pushed her into this room that looked like a storage room. A large number of black military troop boxes were placed on the towering iron racks, and the air was filled with the smell of dust. "Don't ask, don't waste time. You are not allowed to open the door to anyone except me."
"I don't know what's going on outside. Maybe the Pentagon discovered my identity, maybe some exiled Hydra tried to seize something, or maybe it was S.H.E.L.D.... Go in and don't make a sound."
"Cleaning orders!"
Stephanie Malik kicked open a door with enthusiasm and threw flash stunning bullets inside. A 5.56mm bullet shot out from the corner and then bounced on her armor. She pulled the trigger in that direction without looking, and a bright and dazzling plasma ball rushed into the rack, melting steel and flesh. The private troops of the Malik family entered one by one and quickly killed the airborne troops who refused to surrender. The two teams controlled the laboratory rooms one after another, and the laboratory head - this man was wearing a funny tinfoil hat - hid behind the team tremblingly. He wanted to leave, but Stephanie Malik needed him to provide his fingerprint, iris and password. If he insisted on leaving, he had to leave.
The other soldiers in this base have surrendered, and there are not many officers who really resist arrest. With legal procedures, these soldiers will not be confused about who their master is. After all, the Pentagon pays the salary, not a certain officer, and it is not worth the effort to make a few thousand dollars a month.
The Pentagon is not completely unaware of what happened here, but it has been ignored to a certain extent. Some seniors who have friendship with intelligence networks also speculate that the purpose of this operation is to exclude Brigadier General Tabot, the people who are strongly associated with the Pentagon, from the private security agency that is about to be established and responsible for executing the work of S.H.E.L.D. - even there are many factions inside the Pentagon. Every officer is unwilling to let go of the opportunity to convert public assets into private assets. In the eyes of these people, Brigadier General Tabot is already a loser, and smart people will only stand on the side of the winners. With the acquiescent or even support of multiple factions, the operation can go so smoothly and the Malik family can get the order so quickly.
"I promise, that thing is inside!" the laboratory head pointed to the door and shouted, "That's alien technology!"
Stephanie Malik ordered the lab leader to step forward and open the door. General Hale stared indifferently at the woman in power armor in front of her. Facing the muzzle of dozens of guns, she had no choice but to raise her hand to surrender. "You got what you wanted, Stephanie." General Hale said angrily, "The greed of the Malik family is beyond my imagination."
Stephanie took off her helmet and completely ignored General Hale who was handcuffed.
She raised her head and looked at the metallic device, took out her cell phone and took a photo.
At this moment, the giant device seemed to be dead. The lab leader stepped forward to check the computer in the lab and gave the answer. "This device has been turned off and no longer sends out signals. I don't know what, we didn't understand the operating principle of this device..." He also had a glad expression on his face. The device was finally stopped. The errors of the S.H.E.L.D.'s "Phase II" plan will not be repeated. He doesn't have to worry about becoming the person responsible for alien invasion of the earth, and he will not be locked in a mental hospital like Professor Shavig. He was too excited and wanted to say something, but saw a huge figure walking out of the bright passage.
It was a giant wearing gray-black armor, with scarlet flashes embedded in the armor without any expression. The giant carried one black, thick shield without any paint, and in the other hand, a giant black metal warhammer that was extremely similar to the medieval page hammer. The long hammer leaves were covered with blood. Now he finally knew who had killed the soldiers who had seen the broken chest and head.
Fear interrupted what he wanted to say, and Stephanie happened to want to continue listening.
"Okay, I just need to confirm that this device is down, and I don't want to know the others."
