"Report to the General!"

Outside the tent, the sudden sound of the report brought the general back from his past thoughts, he looked away from the screen, and returned to his usual calm face: "What's the matter?"

"Report to the general, the commander-in-chief, Master Phoenix, has arrived in the command center area, and ......" Before the soldier at the door could finish reporting, a calm voice behind him interrupted his words: "And, I am ready to take over the command." ”

"Why, I thought His Excellency the Director was going to be out for a while longer. Seeing the figure walking into the tent, General Ye Zhou's eyes narrowed slightly, and he just pointed his hand to the seat next to him, without the slightest intention of getting up to greet him.

"There's no need for that. Phoenix took off his trench coat and handed it to the assistant behind him, then turned around and reflected the iconic horizontal scar on his face in the general's sight, "I want to know more if the surrounding fire coverage network has reached its respective positions as I planned before, General Ye Zhou, can you answer?"

"The outer guard posts and the central blockade are all in place, and you must have seen them all along the way. The general took out his cigarette case and lit a cigarette casually, "However, the defense line around the place where you met has not yet been arranged, and it will take about ten minutes." Heh, it's okay to set up a military defense network in the center of the city, although it is understandable to prevent that guy from going berserk in terms of military force, but is it really necessary to be here?"

"I don't need to explain this to you, General, just do your job. After saying this, Phoenix ignored the former's ugly face, and then went straight to his place and sat down, and instructed his assistant: "Ryan, listen to the circuit report, and notify me as soon as everything is arranged." ”

Now, I'm going to think about it.

............

"Report to the general post, there is no abnormality at the second sentinel point, please tell the commander-in-chief, over. ”

Reporting every five minutes is an important part of Phoenix's sentry network, which progresses from the outside to the inside, so that the commander-in-chief can keep abreast of the city's situation at the shortest intervals, so as to ensure that emergencies are dealt with as quickly as possible. And now, a soldier on the outermost side of the city had just finished his routine, but when he put down the communicator in his hand, an inexplicable sense of foreboding suddenly enveloped him.

Is there a situation?

After years of experience in the army, the soldier quickly reached for the pistol on his waist, and immediately raised his head to look out of the sentry booth door, which, as expected, opened at the same time the moment when his gaze was directed in the direction of the doorknob.

"Captain, there's a report from the street ahead...... Hey, hey, what's going on?!!The captain is me!" However, the door was opened by an ordinary soldier who was also a member of the sentry as him, and he was looking at the pistol pointed at him in the captain's hand with a panicked expression, "Calm down! What are you nervous about?!"

"Oh...... Sorry, I seem to be a little too nervous. The soldier put away his gun apologetically, and then patted his companion on the shoulder, "So there is a difference between the drill and the real situation, and even I am a little nervous when it comes to this occasion." ”

“...... It's no wonder that the captain doesn't blame the captain, it's been a long time since the dragon district has faced this kind of formation, and the head of the ring is really capable of tossing. The soldier outside the door breathed a sigh of relief, and then walked in the door, "Then I will continue to report." Just now, there was news from the garrison in the block in front of us, it seemed that there was a problem with the communication line of a mecha hunter of the armored force, which always deviated from the routine reporting time for a few seconds, and we needed to send an engineer from the sentry to overhaul it. ”

"What, are their drivers asleep? Isn't this kind of thing usually solved by themselves?" The captain scratched his head, and at the same time glanced at the indicators of the magic detection radar on the computer screen next to him, only to see that the curve remained in a steady arc as always, and there was nothing abnormal, "Okay, notify the engineering team on duty, go to the front and take a look, lest these lazy bugs chew their tongues in front of the division commander and the regiment commander again, and our pawns can't afford to mess with it." ”

"Yes, understood. The soldier saluted, and was about to go out, but he seemed to suddenly remember something, he turned around and spoke again: "By the way, captain, the three patrols sent by our sentry just now, it seems that Lao Zhang's team did not reply routinely, do you need to ask once?"

"Yes? The area he patrols doesn't seem to have a good signal, and the first few times the communicator replied, it was intermittent, I'll try again. With that, the captain switched the communicator to the patrol line and pressed the intercom button: "Patrol No. 3, can you hear me? ”

"Sand ...... Rustle......"

However, on the other end of the communicator, there was only a noise blocked by electromagnetism, and the captain, who had waited for a long time and still could not hear a response, glanced at his companion, and then moved his fingers, preparing to press the emergency alert button in the name of an abnormal situation, as conveyed in the plan.

"Ahem...... Patrol Team 3 returned to the sentry post, and the patrol situation was normal, but there was signal interference in the surrounding area, and it was completed. Just as the captain was about to press the red button, the familiar reply voice suddenly came from the walkie-talkie, and the latter breathed a sigh of relief, then pressed the intercom button, and replied: "The sentry point has received it, pay attention to the timely reply, over." ”

"Hmm...... It's okay, captain, and I'll go back to my post first. The soldier turned to leave, while the captain slowly sat back down, and although he heard the security report from the patrol, strangely enough, the inexplicable sense of ominousness in his heart did not dissipate.

Result...... What's wrong?

............

Lao Zhang turned off the walkie-talkie, cold sweat mixed with the blood sticking on his face flowed down, he raised his hand tremblingly, and said cautiously to the man in front of him: "Friend, you also heard, I didn't expose you on the phone, and I swear, I didn't use any tactical code, I don't know...... Can this cost me my life?"

"You're negotiating with me?"

Calmly stepping over the pool of blood, the man casually threw aside the human head in his hand, and the iron helmet that was still tied to it bounced off the ground, and then rolled out a dark red trail of blood.

“...... No, it's not, I just thought, what use is it for you to leave me alone!" Lao Zhang wiped a handful of sweat that seeped into the corners of his eyes, and his panicked eyes swept between the corpses everywhere, as if he was expecting those comrades-in-arms who were torn apart like rags to stand up and relieve him of the crisis.

At first, it was just because of routine patrols. At the corner of the street, Lao Zhang, who led a team of fifteen people, found this lonely man wandering on the street, elegant and gorgeous burgundy suit, carefully groomed and tied back of his long hair, at least at first glance, he was definitely not a civilian who had not had time to retreat, in Lao Zhang's opinion, this man was more like a movie star solemnly going to a certain party to receive trophies and applause.

No one would have imagined that in the next few seconds, this man would silently crush the heavily armed squad, no, it would be better to describe it as "shredded" than "crushed". The human body, hidden under the bulletproof vest and tactical fiber uniform, was as fragile as paper softened by blisters and then dried between the man's fingers, and the fifteen soldiers didn't even have time to scream before they became scattered corpses between the pools of blood on the ground.

The faint white vapor steamed in the pool of blood, and the man bent down, picked up an M4 carbine rifle that had fallen to the ground before, turned the handle of the gun, and handed it to Lao Zhang.

"Friends...... Friend, ...... you are?"

Lao Zhang looked at the familiar rifle in front of him, and his throat rolled with a grunt, he couldn't understand what the madman in front of him wanted to do.

"Take it, point the gun at me, pull the trigger, and don't let go until the bullet is empty. ”

Remembering to engrave this passage in Lao Zhang's brain, the man deliberately paused every time he finished speaking, so that the already frightened soldier in front of him could hear every word exactly.

"If you can kill me, your life will be yours again. ”

Now, shoot.
