Chapter 61 No Peace Except War
About an hour ago.
The Queen, who was studying a tome entitled "A Detailed Explanation of the Terminology of the Inner Dan of Oriental Culture", received a message.
The messenger was one of her most powerful subordinates, Zion's "Hunter" Reed.
Reid doesn't have much of a mission in his spare time, just wandering around Zion as a free scout. She has excellent detection and stealth skills, and is able to spot any malicious infiltrators, as well as detect the movements of various forces in the vicinity without being detected.
The "Queen" has always trusted her, because she does not get along with others, and even grants her the right to move freely.
This means that the "hunter" can be a rice worm that eats and waits for death if he wants to. This is a very rare situation for the "queen" who is always budget-conscious and eager to get every dollar spent in return.
But "Hunter" repaid the trust of "Queen" very well with her actions.
Although she was not able to detect and stop someone in time every time she infiltrated, in the past few years, she had found clues to infiltrators several times without other investigators noticing, and more than once she had eliminated them with her own strength.
She alone played the role of a reconnaissance team.
Therefore, although some people were quite dissatisfied when the "Queen" first issued this personnel appointment, in the end this dissatisfaction disappeared and turned into a happy and sincere convincing "hunter".
She does deserve to be looked at differently!
This time, it was she who first discovered the problem and sent a message through the communicator.
[Hunter: There are a lot of enemies, there is the smell of ice and snow and cold wind, and the murderous aura is very heavy. 】
The "Queen" was stunned for a moment, then frowned, pressed a few times on the communicator, and dialed another number.
"Sea cat, scout your surroundings with a high-altitude balloon. ”
A somewhat confused voice came from the communicator: "High-altitude balloons? Is there something big going on?"
"That's right, use it now. ”
Five or six minutes later, she received an answer.
"It's the Slavs! There are so many Slavs!" the woman on the other side of the communicator looked a little angry, "There are too many! I'm afraid there are three or five divisions! What kind of nerves are there in the Slavs? Why did they send such a large force to sneak up on us?"
"What else?" the queen sneered, "inform all armed operators and get ready for battle." ”
"Oh my God, you don't want to fight them, do you? You can't win, it's too much!"
"Win or die, what do you think we should choose?"
"God......" There was a wail from the communicator, "I'm still young, why am I going to die young......"
The "Queen" directly turned off the communicator, and the cold light in her eyes reflected the originally warm green hair becoming cold.
She thinks for a minute or two, then begins to schedule her work.
The first is to contact the "doctor" and ask him to arrange the evacuation of those who will never die, such as the children of the great forces who come to treat the disease, such as "Mentor Xia" and those who participated in the compilation of the textbook...... These people can't die, and if they die, the world will be in chaos.
Then, she contacted the chief engineer of "Kyushu Construction", who was in charge of the construction of the residential area.
"What?!" When he learned that the Slavic Empire, which had always united with Kyushu and did not interfere with the river water, had sent an army of more than 100,000 people to invade in one go, Chief Engineer Li, the leader of Kyushu Construction, exclaimed, unable to believe his ears.
"It's not a joke, is it?"
"Do you think I might be joking about this? According to our reconnaissance, the Slavic army is less than an hour away. ”
“...... This...... What should I do......" The engineer, who was just getting older, fell into deep distress.
Of course, he could guess what the Slavic army was here for - the reputation of the Slavs, the reputation of Zion, the recent events in Zion...... Linking these clues, it's easy to deduce.
But he rather couldn't guess it himself.
I can't guess, at least I won't be so distressed!
After a moment's hesitation, he pulled out a dedicated communicator.
The use of this communicator is very restrictive, and it must rely on a dedicated communication tower to be able to function. The communication tower must be left open all the time when it is in use, and the speed of consuming psionic fragments is equivalent to that of several large construction machines, which is simply burning money.
But now is the time to worry about cost!
"Is this the General Liaison Office? I am Lao Li, the head of the Kyushu Construction Mission in Zion, and I have a very important matter to report, please give me the No. 1 special line. ”
What is the reaction of the Kyushu Federation, the "Queen" is too lazy to think...... Whatever their reaction, it's probably too late.
She's just trying to get as much hope as possible for the innocent psionic infected.
And the key to making this hope a reality lies in Zion himself.
Just when Pan Long and the others had just gotten the news and were about to transfer, she had already arrived at the square on the top floor of Zion with the "doctor".
In front of them, the armed operatives of Zion were rapidly massing.
As one of the two major organizations of psionic infected, Zion's strength is very strong.
Although most of the infected people are not stable due to the torture of illness, there are always some people who can use their strong will and body to fight against psionic infection, and turn this illness into their own strength, so as to grow into excellent warriors.
These people are the main source of Zion's "armed operators".
In addition to these infected who are willing to stand up and fight, another important source of "armed operators" is mercenaries.
The military literacy of the mercenaries is higher than that of the infected who volunteered to join the army, and in peacetime, all military operations in Zion are inseparable from them as squad leaders.
But today, there were only infected people in the square, not a single mercenary.
This battle was nine deaths, and it can even be said that there were no deaths. No one dared to bet that the mercenaries would choose to betray in such a situation.
Zion can't afford to gamble.
It could be seen that the operators were in a hurry, and many of them were even at a loss, not knowing what was going on.
But they soon found out.
"Bad news for everyone. "The doctor" said that "the army of the Slavic Empire came, and it was very large, estimated at more than 100,000 people. ”
The operators immediately blew up, and everyone talked about it.
"What are they doing here?"
"Are they going to heal too?"
"Don't be stupid! The Slavic Empire has been persecuting us like crazy, and they want us to be all dead!"
"That'...... Are they here to stop us from healing?"
"I guess it's worse......"
In the midst of the chaos, the voice of the "doctor" rang out: "Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know what the Slavic Empire is here for. But I don't think there is a need to send troops if they have good intentions. And...... There is also no need for such a large army. ”
The operators nodded.
"So my guess is that they probably think, 'It's unforgivable that the infected don't die honestly on their own, and they want to heal themselves!'...... Well, they felt that we were unforgivable, and then they decided to come and destroy us. ”
"Impossible!" someone shouted.
But then someone retorted: "The Slavic Empire is as cruel as the devil, what bad thing can't they do?"
Someone else added: "Yes, I heard back in the day that they regularly execute infected people like us......"
Opinions were quickly unanimous, and everyone was uneasy.
The "doctor" added: "The army of the Slavic Empire is not far from us, and it is certainly too late to escape, and we now have only one choice left." ”
"What choice?" someone asked.
The "doctor" smiled, revealing a determined and fierce expression: "Fight them! Defeat them!"
"No...... Impossible, right?"
"Yes, it's also a ...... country"
"An army of more than 100,000 men!"
With a cold snort that interrupted everyone's words, the "Queen" took a step forward and swept the uneasy operators with a contemptuous gaze: "Now we have two choices, either we kneel on the ground honestly, maybe their knives are not sharp enough, or they don't have enough psionic weapons to kill them all." ”
No one spoke.
"The other option is to do everything we can to fight them to the end...... Maybe we can win, even if we can't, at least we have struggled, and we are not lying on the ground waiting to die. ”
Still no one spoke.
In the face of such a situation, even an inspiring mobilization has limited effect.
For a long time, the Slavic Empire has shocked the world with its ferocious and brutal style, especially their frenzied persecution of psionic infected, which has made almost all infected people extremely fearful of them.
Want to fight them to the death?
Even the bravest of operators can hardly be courageous, let alone confident.
In silence, the "doctor" walked towards the front of the square: "I know what you are thinking, saying that you are worried, saying that you are afraid, but in fact I am the same. ”
"In this cruel world, we don't want much more than peace and tranquility. But peace and tranquility do not fall from the sky, and must be earned on your own. ”
"Peace and tranquility are ahead of us now, and winning this battle will be within reach. ”
"I can't promise to bring you victory, just as I couldn't promise to heal you. ”
As he spoke, he walked over to a light SUV, pulled open the door and got inside.
"I can only promise one thing. ”
Then, his voice came from the horn of the car: "If there is a need for battle, I will be at the forefront!"
"If you are willing to believe me for once, then come with me and fight this hopeless battle, fighting for the peace and tranquility we desire!"
The off-road vehicle started, and under the gaze of everyone, it made a slight turn and drove outside.
From the top of the moving city, you can already faintly see a large shadow slowly approaching at the end of the horizon.
