Chapter 218: The situation is not good
Chen Ning and Kan Jing stood on the head of the dilapidated city, looking at the brilliant sunset in the distance, and the breeze was blowing slowly, sending a trace of coolness. But Kan Jing, who was dressed in Chen Ning's coat, felt exceptionally warm, and her indifferent and serious pretty face on weekdays also quietly became vivid, with a pair of slender phoenix eyes, flashing with a different kind of affection.
Suga looked at the sunset in the distance and said softly, "The sunset is infinitely good!"
Chen Ning: "It's just nearly dusk!"
Kan Jing turned his head and glanced at Chen Ning, and said with disgust: "You are only twenty-five years old, but I found that your tone of voice has become more and more like a little old man with vicissitudes." ”
Chen Ning couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, this is also a matter of no way, being in charge makes people mature, or in other words, being the leader, with a sense of responsibility, makes people easy to become mature.
He said: "I was seriously injured and in a coma for a few days, thanks to you, Fang Lao, and Qin Yingqi commanding the city defense, I have worked hard for you. ”
Su Jing's heart moved slightly, and he subconsciously glanced at Chen Ning, Chen Ning has a lot of gentleness today, and he even knows how to comfort others.
She said lightly: "Qin Yingqi and I didn't do too well, after all, the Black Army sacrificed so many brothers, if it wasn't for Fang Zheng to help us, maybe the Tiger Pass would have been lost a long time ago." ”
Chen Ning said: "The zombie army has two zombie lords, Hurricane and Ji Shuixian, and it is already a miracle that you can defend it." ”
Kan Jing suddenly said: "This is not a miracle, now I think that our black army can hold the tiger's mouth pass is a miracle." In particular, we said in the report that we killed the Thunder Tyrant, which probably caused a lot of shock, and this time the reward for us is only to reward us for holding the tiger's pass. As for the killing of the Thunder Tyrant, the boss said that it needed to be verified. ”
Chen Ning smiled: "The zombie brain core of the Thunder Tyrant is still with us, and we haven't cheated on it, I'm afraid they will verify it?"
Suga said: "The document from above, let's hand in the evidence of killing the Thunder Tyrant, and include the main evidence, the zombie brain nucleus of the level 11 Thunder Tyrant. ”
Chen Ning didn't think much about it, so he said, "Then why don't you just hand over the zombie brain nucleus?"
Suga suddenly said: "But our level 11 zombie brain core has been stolen and gone." ”
Chen Ning was stunned when he heard this, and then opened his mouth to say that the zombie brain core of the Thunder Tyrant was not here with me, so he wanted to take it out, but suddenly noticed that Kan Jing was looking at him steadily, Chen Ning was stunned again, and then understood: Of course Kan Jing knew that the brain core was here, but why did she deliberately say that the zombie brain core was stolen and missing?
The top asked to provide detailed proof of killing the Thunder Tyrant, the most direct and best evidence, of course, is the level 11 zombie brain core, if it can't be handed over, it is estimated that the top must feel that the black army has forged military merits and will be punished.
Kan is well aware of the consequences, but why would he do it?
Of course, there is only one reason, that is, the combat power of the Black Legion, especially the strength of several legions, is completely insufficient to kill any lord, let alone the Thunder Tyrant.
Commander Chen Ning is now a ninth-level general, deputy commander Kan Jing, an eighth-level general, and Colonel Qin Yingqi, a ninth-level general.
Judging from the strength on paper, Chen Ning's ability to kill a Poison Lord is already quite remarkable. Now to say that they killed a zombie tyrant is as to the Empire as a couple of three-year-olds killing a lion.
That's why the Black Legion will be asked to submit evidence!
Naturally, the Black Legion can provide evidence, but once strong evidence is provided to prove that Chen Ning killed the Poison Lord and the Thunder Tyrant, then it is estimated that the upper authorities will be suspicious of Chen Ning's strength, and even Chen Ning's identity.
The Imperial Military Department is suspicious of Chen Ning, and it is likely that a special investigation team will be dispatched to carry out a thorough investigation of Chen Ning in all aspects, and at that time, all of Chen Ning's secrets may be investigated, including the secret that Chen Ning is a demigod.
The empire is particularly strict with the zombie virus, and it is also strict with other races, and since ancient times, there has been a saying that non-my race will have different hearts. The Empire will never allow any other race that threatens humanity, whether it is zombies, demigods who have a lot to do with zombies, or other races with terrifying strength. This is very similar to Western Europe, where humans are also alien to zombies, werewolves, vampires, etc.
Kan has already asked his men to burn the Thunder Lord and all the zombie corpses to ashes, and then bury them. The reason is to avoid the spread of the zombie virus, but the real purpose is to destroy the evidence. Moreover, she knew that the brain core of the Thunder Tyrant was in Chen Ning's hands, but she had already announced that the brain core was stolen, and she also replied to the report to the top.
Chen Ning lowered his voice: "What's wrong?"
Kan Jing: "Your strength in killing the Thunder Tyrant is too appalling, I'm worried, and the higher authorities may already doubt you." That's why I claim that the brain core was stolen, and that all the evidence related to the Thunder Tyrant was destroyed, was to think that we didn't kill the Thunder Tyrant at all, but just lied about our military exploits. I'd rather we be charged with lying about your military exploits than have your superiors send an investigation team to investigate you, and even more so that they can discover your secrets. ”
Chen Ning's secret is naturally the secret of his demigod identity.
Chen Ning hadn't thought too much about it before, but now he realized that as his strength became stronger and stronger, the occurrence of overstepping the level and killing enemies would happen repeatedly, and after killing a terrifying super zombie like a tyrant, it would cause others to doubt his identity.
He sighed: "It seems that in the future, before my strength is raised, I have to take it easy, so as not to let others doubt my identity." ”
Kan Jing: "It's best if you know, but this time to kill the Thunder Tyrant, there is no way to do it, if you don't kill the Thunder Tyrant, we can't end this battle, and if it drags on for a day or two, the Tiger Pass will be self-defeating." ”
Chen Ning lowered his voice and said, "What about the other evidence that we killed the Thunder Tyrant?"
Kan Jing: "I have basically eliminated all the evidence, and I just need the zombie brain core in your hand, so your zombie brain core can't be taken out." ”
Chen Ning thought to himself that this brain core is a level 11 zombie brain core, and the energy contained in it is huge, I am still a little reluctant to hand it over, I don't have to hand it in now, as for military merits, I can earn it again in the future.
Chen Ning remembered the pair of gauntlets that he had given to the Bull Demon King, so he said to Kan Jing: "Ah Niu has a pair of gauntlets there......
Kan Jing: "That pair of gauntlets doesn't mean anything, it's not evidence of a powerful killing of a zombie tyrant." ”
When Kan Jing said this, he glanced at the Black Legion soldiers in the distance behind him and the residential area in the Hukou Pass, and whispered: "If we don't hand in the zombie brain core, the boss will definitely think that we are taking the lead in the army." The brothers and the residents will not be convinced, lest the brothers complain that we have lost all the evidence of killing the zombie tyrant. Therefore, the pair of gauntlets left by the Bull Demon King can make the warriors of the Black Legion feel confident. ”
Chen Ning smiled bitterly: "Then in the future, it is estimated that the higher authorities will judge us to falsify our military merits, and the brothers of the Black Legion will be muttering all day long that this matter is true, as evidenced by the Thunder Tyrant's Gauntlet." ”
Suga: "This is already the best ending. ”
In the next few days, the soldiers and civilians of Hukou Pass relied on drinking porridge and water to survive, but fortunately, the army no longer had to fight, and they were hungry after drinking porridge and water, and they were able to maintain.
Chen Ning and the others waited for the caravan of the Liu family trading house to send food and supplies, but they didn't expect that before the caravan of the Liu family arrived, another convoy from the Imperial Logistics Department arrived here from Vermilion Bird City.
It turned out that this convoy was responsible for transporting food to Fu Yunfei's army on the Eastern Front.
Fu Yunfei kept 30,000 prisoners of war privately because Chen Ning disobeyed the order, and Fu Yunfei said at the beginning that he would not provide food to the prisoners of war and let Chen Ning handle it himself. At the beginning, he also provided food to Chen Ning's Black Legion on a regular basis, and in the end, Fu Yunfei saw that Chen Ning was able to feed tens of thousands of prisoners of war, so in a fit of anger, he didn't even provide food for the Black Legion.
Unexpectedly, the long-lost imperial logistics convoy finally came to supply the Black Army with supplies.
However, what made Chen Ning and Kan Jing feel unusual was that this convoy transporting supplies was accompanied by a gendarmerie with a scale of 200 people!
The gendarmerie was headed by a man in a gendarmerie uniform, his name was Zeng Chengcheng, who was about the same age as Chen Ning, and was about twenty-five years old. His epaulettes were two bars and three stars, and he turned out to be a military police major.
When Chen Ning and Kan Jing and other Black Army officers led the soldiers out to greet them, when they saw the gendarmerie, Chen Ning and Kan Jing both glanced at each other, and they both felt that things were a little bad, because the gendarmerie was responsible for investigating the army's disciplinary violations, and it was not a good thing that the gendarmerie appeared here!
