"Lance, I'll leave the rest of the command to you …"
Zhang Sai's words stunned Lance, the vice-captain, who was standing beside her. Then, his expression changed drastically.
"Captain, you …"
"Do you remember what we said before we set off? At all costs. For a dark energy manipulator, you should know what that means!"
As Zhang Sai spoke, she had already controlled the DEAC device in her hand and stepped forward …
She did not give Lance any chance to stop her.
"Someone has to take the lead in this matter. Since that's the case, let me take the lead!"
As she stepped forward, the dark energy on Zhang Sai's body began to become chaotic.
"Everyone, activate the dark energy barrier with all your might!"
Lance gritted his teeth as he looked at Zhang Sai, who was approaching the enemy's formation step by step. He roared to everyone in the squadron through the dark energy network.
Now was not the time to be sad, nor was it the time to panic. Lance knew this better than anyone else.
The captain had made her choice, but today, the captain would not be the only one to make a choice!
Suddenly, everyone stopped the attacks they were releasing and controlled their DEAC devices to release the dark energy barrier. They joined together to form an airtight barrier at the front of the formation.
Through the bright silver barrier in front of them, the team members saw the captain rushing toward the enemy's formation. Finally, they could no longer hold back and tears rolled down from the corners of their eyes …
On the other side of the passage, in the dark energy assault team's formation, the captain who was commanding the defense also noticed Zhang Sai, who was rushing toward him and whose dark energy was extremely abnormal.
"Oh no, she's going to self-destruct. Stop her immediately!"
At this time, he could no longer care about the order not to kill, so he immediately ordered loudly.
The team members who had also discovered the enemy's purpose, and with the captain's order, they all controlled their DEAC devices to release the most powerful and fatal attack on the target.
However, just as they were about to control their DEAC devices to attack, a voice entered everyone's ears. Then, everyone stopped attacking …
This scene also fell into Zhang Sai's eyes, which made her very surprised.
The enemy was clearly preparing to attack to stop me from getting closer, so why did they suddenly stop?
Most importantly, not only did the other party stop attacking, he didn't even strengthen his defense.
Logically speaking, since it was so obvious that he wanted to self-destruct, even if the other party attacked to stop him from getting close, they would at least order everyone to cast a dark energy barrier as a defense like Lance did, right?
Alright, they were only 30 meters away from the enemy's formation. There was no more time for Zhang Sai to ponder over the reason.
Since there was such a big opportunity in front of him, of course he had to seize it!
Using the DEAC device, Zhang Sai pushed the dark energy to the extreme, far exceeding the amount that Zhang Sai could control.
A large amount of dark energy that she could not control began to go berserk, and began to flow out wildly. A dazzling silver-white light began to spread from within Zhang Sai's body to the surroundings.
At this moment, everyone lost their vision.
However, as a C-grade dark energy manipulator, everyone understood one thing: the terrifying dark energy storm was about to begin!
Sensing the situation in her body, Zhang Sai, who had also lost her vision, curled her lips.
In a situation where the enemy was defenseless, his explosion should be able to create a gap in the enemy's formation and allow the Dark Energy Squadron to break through.
"It's just that … I won't have the chance to surpass that bastard Wang Hai in the future!"
At this moment, Zhang Sai remembered that during his time in the Dark Energy Military Academy, he was called Wang Hai, a monstrous genius who surpassed him in every aspect.
He always thought that Zhang Sai had set him as a goal and worked hard to surpass him.
But now, it seemed that there was no such opportunity.
"You bastard, do you want to die?"
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded in his ear. Then, the dazzling silver-white light that filled the entire corridor began to gradually dissipate, and the huge, uncontrollable, and violent dark energy in the surroundings also began to stabilize.
"What … what's going on?"
Zhang Sai was dumbfounded.
When the dazzling silver-white light completely dissipated, everyone's vision gradually recovered, only to find that …
There was another person in front of Zhang Sai, who was kneeling on one knee on the ground!
A person wearing a custom-made dark energy combat suit exuding a powerful aura. Even the powerful C-grade dark energy manipulators were instinctively afraid.
"Who … are you?"
"What, after not seeing each other for so many years, can't you recognize your old classmate's voice?"
While teasing, Wang Hai opened the mask on his helmet.
"Wang Hai … why are you here?"
"Why can't it be me?"
"You bastard, you joined the rebel army and attacked the Federal Presidential Palace, are you crazy!"
"Correction, I didn't join the rebel army, I'm the leader of this rebel army!"
"What?"
"Hahahaha, your expression is still as interesting as before!"
Looking at Zhang Sai's dumbfounded expression after hearing his words, Wang Hai laughed out loud.
Speaking of which, when they were in the military academy, Wang Hai's favorite thing was to tease Zhang Sai and then enjoy her expression.
Although it was a bad taste, it was a special relationship between friends.
After all, as friends, there had to be someone on the receiving end, right?
"Okay, tell your people to stop resisting. The order I received was to suppress the Central Guards and ensure that no one's life is harmed!"
"So, use your not-so-stupid brain to think about it. If we were really rebels, would this order be given?"
"Also, in front of a B-grade dark energy manipulator, are you sure any of you has a chance to self-destruct?"
After a brief teasing, Wang Hai looked at Zhang Sai and said seriously.
"B-grade manipulator … you said you're already a B-grade manipulator?"
"And what's with the order you mentioned?"
"Where did the order come from?"
At this moment, Zhang Sai was in a mess.
Who could tell her what the hell was going on?
"Commander, the command center has been suppressed. Target number two, Brent, is under control. In addition, the commander has arrived in Earth's orbit and is heading to the surface. The commander asked me to tell you to wait for him at the Central Guards' command center."
"Okay, I understand. Continue to command the aftermath, don't make any mistakes at the last moment!"
"Yes, commander!"
Just when Zhang Sai was in a mess and the members of the dark energy squadron didn't know what to do, Wang Hai received a communication from the adjutant.
"Let's go, come with me to the command center. If you want to know what's going on!"
-----
Ten minutes later, Central Guards' base, command center.
At this moment, Zhang Sai was looking at Wang Hai, who had taken off his combat uniform, with a confused expression.
No, to be precise, she was looking at the military rank on Wang Hai's shoulder.
Major general …
She and Wang Hai were in the same batch of military academy students, and it had only been a few years since they graduated.
She thought she was already amazing enough. After graduation, she entered the Central Guards and became the captain of the only dark energy squadron in the Central Guards, with the rank of lieutenant colonel.
Yes, Zhang Sai thought that even if she hadn't caught up to Wang Hai's pace, she should be very close.
However, what the hell was with the military rank on this guy's shoulder?
Ever since the Federation Military Academy and the reform of the enlistment age, was there such a young major general?
He was afraid that he had joined a fake Central Guard Force.
Wang Hai's major general rank was a huge blow to Zhang Sai. She didn't even notice the Central Guards' commander, Brent, who was being pressed to the ground by two dark energy manipulators and unable to move …
"Commander!"
Just when Zhang Sai stared at the military rank on Wang Hai's shoulder, Wang Hai suddenly stood up straight and saluted in the direction of the command center.
It was only then that Zhang Sai came back to her senses and followed Wang Hai's gaze.
She was fine when she didn't look, but when she did, she was shocked.
As long as the person in front of her was a dark energy manipulator, there was no one who didn't know him.
Not only was he one of the only three A-grade dark energy manipulators in the Federation, but he was also the commander of the Netherworld Fleet, Lin Yu.
Unconsciously, he straightened his body and saluted Lin Yu.
"Yes, I know you. Zhang Sai, right?"
"When you graduated that year, I originally wanted to ask both of you to join the Netherworld Fleet, but at that time, Brent needed to form a dark energy legion in the Central Guards. He needed an excellent dark energy manipulator, so he shamelessly asked for you from me."
'Uh, there's such a thing?'
Not to mention Zhang Sai, even Wang Hai was taken aback.
"Commander, didn't you say that you didn't know me before?"
At this time, Wang Hai also remembered a communication between Lin Yu and him more than two months ago when he submitted the Chels System's withdrawal from the battle.
[Very good, Wang Hai, right? I'll remember your name. Keep it up!]
Wasn't this the complete opposite of what Lin Yu said just now?
"Nonsense, why would I remember you when you just graduated? Back then, I only asked the top three from the Dark Energy Military Academy to enter the Netherworld Fleet, but later, Brent shamelessly asked for the second place."
Uh, okay!
After hearing Lin Yu's words, Wang Hai realized that he didn't leave his name in Lin Yu's mind back then. What he left was probably the first place of XX class …
Lin Yu ignored Wang Hai and walked to Brent's side.
"Is what I said just now correct, Brent?"
"No, not Brent, it should be a parasitic combat bug of the Zerg, right?"
There was a hint of murderous intent in Lin Yu's faint smile. He looked at Brent on the ground and said slowly.
However, when he said the second sentence …
Wang Hai and Zhang Sai both widened their eyes in an instant, and their faces were full of disbelief …
