Chapter 809: Chapter 482: Top Rank Status_1
Three hours ago.
In the dark prison, thirty kilometers underground on the Shadow of Pluto.
Needham Brown, sitting straight in the general’s single room, was making life difficult for Colonel Channing Edwards, who was responsible for his daily needs and also monitoring him.
Needham Brown requested to use the conventional quantum network within the military system, which made Channing Edwards very embarrassed.
Since being imprisoned here for instigating rebellion, Needham Brown’s right to use the regular network had been revoked. He could only access some restricted information through a limited network provided by the Sage Institute.
“General Brown, due to your previous illegal activities, you have been banned from using the public network. If you want to search for something, I suggest you use your special network. Or you can ask me to help you,” Channing said.
Needham Brown rolled his eyes impatiently, “I don’t want to search for information, I want to send a message to someone.”
Colonel Channing Edwards: “Then I cannot agree.”
“I believe you should know my situation. I need to submit a pairing request to Marshal Nora Camp.”
Channing’s expression stiffened, seemingly shocked by Needham Brown’s bizarre train of thought.
After a while, he said sarcastically, “General Brown, isn’t it a bit untimely for you to mention this now? It’s not appropriate for you, nor for the commanding officer.”
As a colonel, Channing ultimately gave some face to the higher-ranked General. He didn’t say his subtext out loud.
The summary in three words would be, “Are you worthy?”
Bang!
Hearing this, Needham Brown suddenly became furious, slammed his palm on the imitation wooden table in front of him, twisted his face and bulged his eyes, with veins popping out.
He roared like a madman.
“You’d better know who is standing in front of you! I am the Empire’s number one admiral! You can go and check my merit list. I just told the truth, and Mr. Green imprisoned me here. I endured this for the greater good. Now, I can’t even have my small requests fulfilled? I have persisted in this matter for almost a hundred years! If it ends here today, the first thing I’ll do when I regain my freedom is to strangle you and your parents!”
Five minutes later, the person in charge brought out his personal communicator with a wronged expression on his face.
It only took Needham Brown three minutes.
Under Channing Edwards’ watchful eye, he logged into his account and undoubtedly clicked “Resend” to send Marshal Nora Camp the pairing request in his personal account.
Then Needham Brown handed the communicator back to the person in charge. He just crossed his legs, relaxed back into the sofa, and opened a paper book.
Before leaving, Channing Edwards saw clearly that the book’s title was Lover.
The cover of the book was already wrinkled from being read so many times.
Red notes could be seen on the pages marked with the bookmark.
A strange man, disrespectful to the sages while reading historical materials related to them more often than anyone else, was simply schizophrenic.
Were it not for the order prohibiting mentioning anything about any prisoner in the dark prison in any situation, including but not limited to the real world and the virtual world, and to anyone, Channing Edwards would surely vent about Needham Brown to someone.
Fifteen minutes later, Channing Edwards was knocked out and tied up like a dumpling.
An elite special forces unit, unlike any other, raided the prison and went straight to the high-ranking officers’ core area, where Needham Brown was being held.
Poor Channing Edwards had no idea what had happened.
Before he was knocked out, he was doing his daily routine report in his office.
After much hesitation, he included the fact that he had lent his personal communicator to Needham Brown in the report and emphasized that Needham Brown had sent the message under his full surveillance.
He had just clicked the send button when a group of masked people wearing anti-scan special combat suits rushed in.
In less than 0.1 seconds, before Channing Edwards could even touch the alarm, a high-frequency oscillation wave made everything suddenly go black, and he lost consciousness.
Another ten minutes passed, and Needham Brown, wearing a brand-new black Star Shadow Battle Armor, walked briskly out of the underground entrance of the dark prison, escorted by hundreds of elite soldiers, and jumped onto a small high-speed battleship.
This was his personal battleship for participating in battles, which had just recently been upgraded to maintain its performance at the most advanced level.
The most recent modification operation was recorded in the historical materials.
The person who signed off on the modification was Nora Camp herself. The application reason was that more than 80% of the people in the command believed that General Brown was an important military asset and still hoped that he would return to the right path and join the battlefield at some point.
But even with Nora Camp’s wisdom, she never thought there would be traitors among humans.
The traitor was none other than the most illustrious Needham Brown.
Nobody imagined that the most elite Shadow Forces of humanity would follow Needham Brown in complete rebellion.
Thirty seconds later, a fleet consisting of hundreds of small, special high-speed battleships began to speed ahead in a straight line.
Needham Brown also released a new video on the public network.
In the video, he had changed out of the Empire’s military uniform and was wearing a black robe, looking at the camera with cold eyes.
Needham Brown didn’t have much to say.
He only mentioned that he was the one who had fought against the Compound-Eyed Observer’s army the most times, and had a better understanding of their power than anyone else.
So, he firmly believed that humanity was doomed to fail, at least in this timeline.
But Needham Brown believed that failure does not equal extinction.
Humans who desperately resist will be exterminated.
In a sense, every highly advanced civilization in the universe that possesses sufficient characteristics is a precious treasure.
