Chapter 383 Seeing Old Friends Again
Everything went so smoothly.
After returning home in fear, the officials reported the events that had occurred on Planet Revelation III to Mechanical Earth.
They described the Spark Organization's operation as a full-blown military operation.
And things indeed unfolded exactly as Lin Xuan had predicted.
The Spark Organization claimed that it was Gene Earth that instigated them, directly shifting the huge blame onto Gene Earth.
The latter truly swallowed this bitter pill, not only remaining silent but also proactively providing military funding to the Spark Organization a month later.
This was like seeing a ray of light in the darkness for everyone in the Spark Organization. Since Lin Xuan appeared, the gloom of being abandoned by Gene Earth had been swept away, replaced by a future full of hope.
Although everyone knows that everything they have achieved so far is only temporary, and they still do not have the ability to confront the Space Force head-on, once the Space Force of Mechanical Earth lands on Revelation III, all of Starfire Organization's current achievements will be reduced to ashes.
But none of that matters. As long as there is hope, however small, the spark will continue to burn on this revolutionary path.
This is not for their own sake, but for the sake of the vast majority of people!
"Bai Bing, we're having a celebration banquet tonight, you should all come!"
Simothers excitedly invited Lin Xuan. He was even happier than a newlywed today, even though it was still uncertain whether he would ever get married. But that didn't dampen everyone's enthusiasm.
If before, everyone only regarded Lin Xuan as a friendly outsider, now, Lin Xuan's image in the entire Spark Organization is already on par with the four leaders.
Some of them, including Simothers, even planned to nominate Lin Xuan as the fifth leader of the Spark Organization at tonight's victory celebration banquet.
Lin Xuan did not refuse Simothers' invitation, as it was a good opportunity to integrate into the organization as quickly as possible.
This time, the Spark Organization successfully seized control of Revelation III. Lin Xuan deserves the most credit, but since the thought imprint is something that cannot be easily shown to others, the main credit was given to Felix and his brothers.
Many people's impression of Lin Xuan is that she was just an outstanding leader who brought the Spark Organization back together after so many years of disintegration. Overall, they feel more awe than gratitude towards her.
As for the Thirteenth Squad, many people had guessed their identities, but everyone maintained a tacit understanding and no one revealed it.
The celebration banquet was held in the square of the municipal center, in the form of a bonfire party.
In principle, open flames are not allowed in the municipal area, let alone bonfire parties, but now the principle is in their hands.
If Lin Xuan hadn't forbidden them from committing mass killings, the wealthy neighborhood would probably already be a scene of utter devastation.
Soon, evening arrived, and members of the Spark Organization began to arrive.
As darkness fell, bonfires were lit, and from above, they looked like a reflection of the starry sky in the city center, twinkling with points of light.
Revelation III is a marginal planet that has only recently been occupied by the mechanical Earth, used to supply the front lines and serve as a buffer zone.
There aren't many high-ranking officials and dignitaries on this planet to begin with; those who are here are mostly doing business and trying their luck.
Following the previous attack on the municipal building, many wealthy residents of the affluent neighborhoods realized that staying there might endanger their lives, so they decisively chose to leave.
As a result, there were hardly any people around. The light shows that the city district used to put on in the evenings to please the rich gentry had all stopped, which made the bonfire below much brighter.
Everyone sat around their own campfire, chatting with those around them. Many of them didn't actually know each other, because among those attending the victory celebration were the city defense soldiers who had been implanted with ideological imprints.
Their brains were implanted with thought imprints, which was essentially no different from direct defection to the enemy. In fact, because the thought imprints could not be removed, these controlled soldiers were, in some ways, more loyal to the revolutionary cause of the Spark Organization than the members of the Spark Organization itself.
Everything seemed so harmonious and peaceful, and everyone appeared to be enjoying themselves.
However, Lin Xuan discovered something very interesting: two people from the Spark Organization did not attend the celebration banquet.
One is Hope, and the other is WALL-E.
These two people disappeared as if they had vanished into thin air after meeting Lin Xuan once, and have never appeared again. They are only occasionally mentioned when their different ideas are involved.
Lin Xuan then asked Simothers and Felix about their current situation, but to her surprise, the answers she received were completely different.
"That old guy WALL-E only cares about collecting money. He never gets involved in the organization's affairs. Rather than being one of the leaders of the Spark Organization, it's more accurate to say that he sees himself as a shareholder. As for WALL-E, the survival of Spark is nothing more than a bunch of talking stocks."
"He's capable of anything as long as the money is right. I don't trust him at all, otherwise I might get betrayed without even knowing it."
This is Himmuthus's assessment of him, which can be described entirely negatively. However, Felix portrays WALL-E as a good leader who cares about his country and its people.
"WALL-E has contributed a lot to the Starfire Organization. Bai Bing, before you came to the Starfire Organization, he was the person I admired the most."
"It can be said that without him, Xinghuo would have been destroyed long ago. He personally handled everything, including now. The reason he couldn't attend this victory celebration banquet is because he was dealing with other forces."
"I don't have that kind of brain. You people who use your brains, just tell me what to do, and I'll do whatever you point to."
The two gave completely opposite answers, which made Lin Xuan suspicious. After all, even if a person has two sides, they shouldn't be completely opposite.
"That means one of these two people must have lied."
Lynch gave his final conclusion, but this answer left the members of Team Thirteen, who were sitting in a circle around the campfire, puzzled.
Why lie about this?
Su Zilin thought for a moment. "Logically speaking, Simothers is most likely lying!"
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at her.
“Felix is extremely resentful of the rich. If Wally were really so ruthless in accumulating wealth, Felix probably wouldn’t have such a high opinion of him.”
After all, he was just a bit simple-minded, not stupid. Felix couldn't have been completely oblivious to a person's true nature over the years, so Simmons must have been lying.
"Guessing this kind of thing is pointless. Don't forget what we're here for. What they do is their internal business and has nothing to do with us," veteran Ding Cunxu added.
"Team White, what are your thoughts?"
Lin Xuan shrugged, about to speak, when suddenly, a strange sense of crisis welled up in her heart!
"careful!"
Lin Xuan suddenly turned to the side, and the next second...
"boom!"
A gunshot rang out from a distant building, and a bullet struck the spot where Lin Xuan had just been standing!
If he had been even a fraction slower, that shot would have blown his head off!
"Someone is attempting an assassination from afar!"
The 13th squad, which was closest to Lin Xuan, was the first to react. Su Zilin immediately drew his sniper rifle and aimed in the direction where the shot had been fired.
But I didn't see anything!
The other party escaped faster than she had imagined, but Lin Xuan reacted even faster.
"Crack!"
The nanorobots assembled instantly, forming an exoskeleton armor around his body.
Before anyone could see clearly, Lin Xuan chased after her like a bolt of lightning.
Indeed, the opponent was extremely fast, but Lin Xuan still managed to pinpoint the opponent's approximate location based on the gunshot just now.
"boom!"
He leaped and landed on the air conditioner unit on the fifth floor.
"Boom boom boom!"
In no time at all, Lin Xuan had already flown to the rooftop.
When he arrived at the rooftop, the man had been waiting for him for a long time.
She didn't seem to intend to run away; it was as if she was deliberately waiting for Lin Xuan there.
When Lin Xuan saw the other person, a hint of shock appeared on her face.
The person who assassinated him was an acquaintance.
Tomoko!
