At 4:29 a.m., the Combine Castle began to carry out an investigation, and dozens of Resistance troops who were still hiding inside were destroying all the evidence, and the watch troops stationed near the fortress also began to investigate and search street by street, making such a big noise, the Combine high-level was extremely angry, and soon, revenge came, a series of orders were issued almost at the same time, and the armored core troops in the castle and the entire garrison near New York all poured out, streets, unpreoccupied buildings, underground waterways, rivers, The sea and even the sky are filled with the Combine ...

The conspiracy told the Combine agents stationed in the castle that there were a large number of human resistance groups operating in a certain place nearby, and this remark immediately attracted a large number of military and police personnel to conduct a strict investigation of Shuicheng District, and those unfortunate lower-class people were all listed as suspects and investigated by the Combine Army, and humiliating them on the street became the norm, and some resistors were directly killed on the spot.

For a time, New York was full of blood and people were panicked, and as the mastermind of this incident, the night attack on the group, except for the attack on the warehouse of the Combined Army and the people covering the retreat, most of them hid in a sea port base under the Left of the United ZF without danger, and they were greeted by the current director of the 18th Institute, Bill Crane.

"You are heroes! Heroes of humanity! Looking at the night raid team that has shrunk by less than 40 people, Bill Crawn shook hands with every night raid member with excitement, Pan Yilong glanced at these people present, except for the night raid, there were 18 people all around, including the combined soldiers here are also different from the rightist soldiers outside, their uniforms and equipment are inherited from the US army in the 1980s, but most of the weapons use the early A1 version of the M16, and even the M2 carbine and M3A1 submachine gun appeared, he couldn't help but shake his head, It is unimaginable that United ZF is wary of the leftists, their equipment and weapons are completely different from the style of the rightists, at least the weapons of the rightists are all uniformly issued from the arsenal, and here, they can only use the old equipment stored in the human warehouse, and some of them can be their own grandfathers.

"Why aren't there any Resistance people?" He couldn't help but whisper a question to one of the Night Raiders next to him, who crooked his mouth and whispered in response, "You think people like the Resistance very much?" That's just ordinary people, ZF officials like them, as well as the industrial and commercial class of the pro-United ZF faction, are most disgusted with these troublemakers, because they only have hatred in their eyes, and they will target all the forces that are friendly with the United Army, they are a group of barbarians. ”

"So the people here didn't let the Resistance come in?" Pan Yilong nodded thoughtfully, "It seems that the situation here is much more complicated than I originally thought..."

Saying this, Bill Crawn turned back to the topic and said to Pan Yilong in the crowd: "I heard that a young man here did not hesitate to scrap one hand to get it in order to take away the artifact of the Combine Army? Come on, kid, let me see your hands..."

Pan Yilong hesitated to glance at Crown, and finally walked in front of him and stretched out his hand, Cloun looked at his injuries with a solemn face, removed the wet bandage, revealing the terrifying blood hole inside, the bloody scene suddenly frightened many people present, and they all threw sympathetic glances at Pan Yilong, Clouen raised his arm in the air, and said loudly:

"It really hurts me to see that this kid did not hesitate to put his hand on that bloodthirsty monster in order to seize the sacred relics of the United Empire, and was so devastated! It's heartbreaking! Doctor! Here, help him re-bandage his wounds and don't chill our children! ”

Pan Yilong was dragged to the back of the crowd by several nurse girls, they skillfully took out a tetanus injection from the medical box and gave him an injection, and then used a medical cotton ball stained with alcohol to gently clamp it into the hole in his palm with tweezers, and repeatedly wiped the stains inside the wound, Pan Yilong suddenly felt that the wound was not so painful at the moment, and the movement of his palm and wrist was not affected by the appearance of this wound, it seemed that only a part of the less important palm meat was dug out by the hollow tube? Impossible? Such a big opening, the nerves and bones will definitely be seriously damaged if they are stabbed like this, and from the wound to see the internal fracture, the bones connecting the finger joints are now invisible, which is even more impossible to have no impact on their activities, the disabilities are all light, and if it is not serious, it will have to be amputated, however, the current situation makes him a little confused, he can only quietly watch his palm being bandaged by the nurses again, and the hole is also plugged with a disinfectant cotton ball, Pan Yilong can still move when he sees that his hand, I stopped paying attention to it, and instead focused on the artifact.

At this moment, Clouen exposed it to the public in front of everyone, the irrepressible excitement and excitement in his eyes could no longer be hidden, and he almost danced, the atmosphere was a little active, and everyone couldn't hide their excitement. It was solemnly lifted up in front of everyone, and there were words in his mouth;

"A supreme artifact that rules over all worlds... Tut-tut, this sentence sounds really scary, but without the protection of the Combine Army, what kind of thing is this artifact? What are the Combine without it? ”

"So what are you going to do with it?" Someone couldn't help but ask Crown, he smiled and waved his hand, "Here, here's a high-powered high-energy laser cannon, powerful enough to melt a Burke-class battleship 17 kilometers away, let's use it to see if we can destroy it!" ”

"Ruined?" Pan Yilong, like everyone else, followed Crawn curiously to the depths of this base, in a closed lead room, a simple shaped cannon about four meters long and three meters high, equipped with a set of 50 mm lenses, was filled with various cables and was fixed here, two sets of container-sized capacitors filled the huge space behind, and the feet were full of dense wires, and the muzzle lens was aimed at a burned steel block with a thickness of 1 meter.

"Move it away!" Crawn gave an order, the crane on the roof tied the steel block with a steel cable and lifted it away, Clouen came to this thing with the artifact, found a small table, and fixed the artifact on it, everyone retreated, Pan Yilong and the crowd crowded on one end leaning on the capacitor, he began to have some expectations, and even some schadenfreude, the combined army is finally going to fall into blood this time, the artifact was stolen, this is nothing, and now it is suddenly destroyed by a group of ninth-rate people, their high-level will definitely be extremely angry when they know it, hehe, Don't lose yourself to work this night.

As Clounn pressed the launch button, the capacitor began to work, concentrating all the power of the entire base here, the battery of the capacitor and the weapon was buzzing, and several heat dissipation guide slots at the tail of the laser cannon were also frantically emitting water vapor, using water circulation to cool the gun body, although this technology looks very simple, but it is the most practical, the multi-layer convex lens of the muzzle was hit purple by the laser, and the scorching temperature rushed to the face, taking advantage of this effort, Cloun turned on the laser cannon's aiming system, After calibrating the path, it flashed aside...

"Come, wear sunglasses, it's easy to burn your eyes." Everyone got the sunglasses from the agent's hand, and put them on their eyes, and after a while, the laser cannon fired a red high-energy laser beam, which hit the artifact accurately, and the strong light Even people wearing sunglasses with this quality can still feel the dazzling beam penetrating the artifact, and then after passing through the middle of this spherical body, it was bizarrely refracted into two lasers, diagonally through its body and then landed on the wall behind the target area, forming a capital Y with the original beam, and then, Cut open the walls of the lead room without any suspense...

"Close it! Fast! The abnormal reflection of the artifact immediately stunned everyone present, Cloun yelled at the staff behind him in shock, everyone hurriedly turned off the weapon, and Cloun also hurriedly adjusted the cannon to prevent it from continuing to irradiate the artifact, but this movement, the laser beam through the artifact also moved, and the two lasers behind him were extremely cooperative to open the lead defense wall behind it, and the high temperature of six or seven thousand degrees deeply ablated the wall into two traces, and the lead block was directly roasted and melted, and they flowed down, The red-hot insulating bricks that had been burned inside were already starting to turn a little white...

"Oh my God... God~This is really showy~"

Everyone looked at the artifact with a shocked face, and then looked at Crown, at this moment Crown's face was extremely ugly, he looked at the artifact with a cold face for a long time, and then walked forward to take a closer look, and finally took it in his hand, shaking his head incredulously...

"Ice, there is not a trace of heat on it, as if the energy beam just now did not hit it at all, how is it possible?"

"It's unbelievable that this spherical body can perfectly refract the spectrum, and the surface does not accumulate a trace of energy and does not absorb it, but... Why? What exactly is it made of? And what is the principle of this? You must know that even if you use a mirror to reflect the laser, you can't do it without absorbing energy at all! ”

“ok！ Everybody! Clun clapped his hands and said to the night raiders: "The show is over, we have all been busy all morning, it's time to rest, Locke, take them to the rest area of the cabin, you can go back safely in the afternoon, everything of you will not be exposed, I vouch for my personality, your money will be credited to your account afterwards... If you don't have an account, you can also apply to exchange it for cash or gold hahaha~"

Pan Yilong took a deep look at Crown, only to see a deep smile on Crawn's wrinkled face, Pan Yilong couldn't help but shudder, Clouen also looked at himself at this time, looking at each other, Pan Yilong suddenly felt that all this didn't seem to be so simple, Crawn looked at himself with some contempt, no, it was the kind of eyes that didn't see himself as a person at all, Pan Yilong was shocked, hurriedly staggered his eyes with him, and saw a screwdriver on the toolbox next to him, Without saying a word, he grabbed his hand and stuffed it into his sleeve, and then followed the crowd to the barge cabin.

When Clounn saw that the group had finally left, his face finally changed to a gloomy expression, he glanced at the eye device, carefully wrapped it and held it in his hand, he beckoned to a Combine officer, and whispered, "I'll go and unanchor the barge they live in, and let them fend for themselves!" ”

"It's sir!" He turned and walked away, and Cloun took a deep look at the artifact, and when he saw that there was no one around, he suddenly muttered:

"I thought that the things of the empire were fake, and if they were destroyed, they would be destroyed, but now it seems that it is not sure, it does have an indescribable energy that seems to be eroding something, as if even the space around it has a feeling of being ablated... The artifact must not be given to the people of the Divine Domain, let alone to the United Empire, the fate of mankind and the earth must be in their own hands, not coveted by other forces, and human beings can only believe in themselves! If it is handed over, the fate of mankind will only be ravaged by these forces from now on, I must not let these ill-intentioned guys ride on my face, I want to dominate all this! ”

...

"Boom~" Pan Yilong lay on the soft spring bed and clearly heard the sound of the boat falling into the water, he opened his eyes suddenly, put his face on the glass of the cabin, and looked at the ship he was in was abandoned on the sea by this huge floating dock, he couldn't help shouting: "! We've been sold! ”

"Don't move!" Outside, there was a movement of leftist soldiers, several Combine leftist soldiers armed with M16s, holding guns, aiming at the night raids that had just begun to riot, and the soldiers were controlled by these soldiers before they realized what was happening, and by the time they reacted, it was too late

"Team A! How's your explosives going? One of them turned his back to them and said this, everyone heard that this was the rhythm of unloading the mill and killing the donkey, and immediately became angry, Huson rushed out directly, and under his leadership, the night raid everyone didn't care that the other party had a gun, and yelled all the way to these guys, Huson knocked one person unconscious, snatched his M16, and shot at the soldier who fled outside the cabin, Pan Yilong took the opportunity to hide behind, quickly picked up the USP pistol of the soldier on the ground, clicked twice and said to the person next to him:

"TMD dog day leftists are planning to unload the mill and kill donkeys, we have worked so hard for them to do this job, not to mention offending the empire, and now this group of guys is going to do something to us in order to cover up their own suspicions! I know that they are definitely not reliable! Say that everyone can get 100,000 US dollars after they succeed, heh, look at what they guys are wearing? I can't eat enough and wear no warmth, and everyone can send 100,000 knives? Ghost believes! What a liar! ”

"Didn't you come then? Don't talk nonsense, what do we do now? One of them cried and couldn't help but ask him: "Now the two factions on the left and right of the United ZF are going to kill us!" We can't escape! ”

"Where's the cockpit of this ship?" Pan Yilong asked loudly, Huson ran out of a magazine and glanced back, and said, "I'll go with you!" ”

"Time is of the essence, there are still bombs in the ship! Hold on! ”

The Combine forces outside the cabin seized the opportunity to escape into the motorboat and quickly sailed away from the barge, they laughed and shouted at the ship, because they knew that not only were there bombs on it, but all the power in the control cabin had already been destroyed by them, the propeller was broken, and there was a group of Civil Guards behind them who received the news and were rushing towards this non-stop, no matter what, this group of people could not escape, a soldier took out a detonator from his body, and said with a cruel smile:

"I absconded in fear of crime, accidentally touched a mine and exploded on the way, and no one survived on the whole ship... Tsk, and the people of the Civil Guard as eyewitnesses, what a perfect operation, the right and the empire will not be able to find us anyway, but you are going to be the scapegoats of this group, and besides, the kind that will never wake up! ”

"Boom!" A violent explosion came from the bottom of the ship, Pan Yilong ran halfway to the ground and was overturned, and then, the barge capsized, and a large amount of sea water poured into the cabin frantically through the gaps and windows, Huson and Pan Yilong supported each other, waded through waist-deep water, and walked towards the patio not far away

"It's not far from the coast," Husson said breathlessly, "You know, we have moles within us!" That one... That kid, that CIA stinky kid who follows you all day long, he's a spy. ”

"I know... I've heard him say it. ”

"Nope! I mean, he's still on the right! Huson was furious, "This bastard, double agent, must have exposed us, and there must be a Civil Guard patrol ship behind him!" ”

"Where's that white-faced guy?" Pan Yilong suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen a white-faced man since he came here, and when he heard this, Huson stood on his feet and was stunned for a moment, and muttered: "He is also a guy who deserves to die!" ”

"TMD is all spies!" Pan Yilong shook him off angrily, "You group of people are rotten!" Everyone's eyes were on the artifact, but no one noticed that their interior had been infiltrated by the outside world, and it was extremely stupid! You don't deserve my trust either, stay away from me! ”

"Pan!" Huson stood there, looking at Pan Yilong's eyes with a somewhat complicated look

"You've known about this for a long time, haven't you?" Pan Yilong glared at Huxun; "You've dug this trap from the beginning and are waiting for these people to jump in, right? You guys... Damn it! ”

"It's none of my business!" Huson shook his head, "I only believe in my Lord, Pan, and if there is an afterlife, I really want us to be good friends... It's a pity that I don't have a chance now. ”

"What are you doing?" Pan Yilong saw him raise his gun, and hurriedly retreated in fright, but Huson turned the muzzle of the gun and aimed it out the window, where a combined gunboat of the Combined Army appeared, and a pair of huge dragonfly compound eyes were staring at the two people in the cabin, Huson screamed angrily and lay down, and then raised his gun to shoot at it, Pan Yilong forgot what happened after this, the pulse machine gun exploded in his ears, tearing the flesh and muscles, and the smashed arm flew in front of him with a burst M16, with the capsizing of the hull, More and more seawater poured into here, Pan Yilong took a deep breath, burrowed into the water and tried to find an exit, he remembered the screwdriver he was carrying, and forcefully pried open the porthole that was squeezed by the water pressure, and then swam towards the water without his life, gradually, his consciousness began to blur...

"I can't die yet!!"

Brand was the last to come to New York, when he came here, it was already the 8th day after the end of the operation, that day because of the attack almost died, in the hospital delayed a lot of time, if it wasn't for the assassin's last hand did not raise to let the grenade fall under herself, it is estimated that even if Brand is lucky enough to pick up a life, it is estimated that the second half of his life will have to rely on the hemodialysis machine to filter the deadly lead fragments from the individual to maintain life, so during that time, Brand's news in New York relied on his own eyeliner to quietly inform himself, He always feels that some things are not there for him, and it is easy to get out of control.

Brand was accompanied by another masked woman, who had come to see his old boss, Bill Croun.

“What？” Brand couldn't help but stand up after hearing Crawn's words, "Night Raid... All wiped out? What about artifacts? ”

Hearing this, Crawn sighed, "The Chinese kid you fancied, in order to take the artifact from the hands of the Coalition Army, he did not hesitate to scrap one of his arms, and sent the artifact intact to my hand, and... He's dead. ”

"That hacker genius is dead too?" He was speechless for a moment, lowered his head and glanced at the masked woman sitting on the chair, she stood up and took off her veil, a bewitching Internet celebrity face looked at the old man in front of her with a slight smile, Crawn also stood up, and stretched out his hand respectfully, "Dare to ask, Your Excellency is the head of the four origin ancestors of the universe today, the messenger of the divine domain mentioned by the Hades King?" ”

"Yes~" The beautiful voice of the god domain man made Brand move in his heart, and he smiled secretly, "I am the commander of the earth in charge of this operation, Bill Crown, the artifact is in our secret warehouse, please come with me." ”

Clounn led the two towards the underground base of the real 18 Research Institute, under a building where the leftists were doing normal business, after passing through the underground tunnels, they came to a rust-proof blue metal door, Cloun opened the lock with a key card, and walked down first, Brand saw the messenger of the god domain looking around, thinking that she was so curious about this place, and began to explain the origin of this place

"The 18th Institute is a special intelligence agency specializing in the study of extraterrestrial life and its science and technology, founded by the former director of the CIA of the Federal ZF, independent of all ZF and parties on the earth, and every year recruits a group of young backbones who are not bound to the party, government and ideology to come here for research, two years ago, there was a harvest, the invention of the first energy weapon that can be put into production in the human world, and equipped with a series of energy batteries, in order to replace the gunpowder gas guns that the United ZF allotted to us... Of course, you people in the Divine Realm naturally don't look down on us gadgets in the mortal world, your war has completely surpassed the cognition of the mortal world, and you can fight with your mind, and every starry sky can be your incarnation, so in your eyes, we are ants on the earth, and we are still using this technology to resist the United Empire..."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but glance at the other party, the other party snorted lightly, ignoring himself, Brand couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and wanted to use this as an excuse in exchange for a little meager support from the super civilization, so he could give verbal support, why is it so difficult?

The three of them have come to the underground base of 18, the messenger doesn't care about everything here, she only cares about whether she can successfully get the artifact of the United Army from the hands of this group of humans, it is too important, and it is precisely because the human race knows nothing about it, so the conservative forces of the entire universe will rest assured that the artifact will be temporarily placed in the hands of humans, but the Combine Army has issued a treasure hunting order, and now in addition to the conservative forces, the whole interstellar knows that the artifact is now out of the control of the Combine Army, although I don't know what kind of impact the Combine Army will be affected next, But the dark forces hidden in the depths of the starry sky have begun to hold back, and can't wait to get it, and the weak human beings are simply not enough to resist the invasion of these planes, even if they are armed.

After receiving the news, the messenger of the divine domain rushed to the earth non-stop, just to get it in the shortest possible time, so after Cloune took out the pure transparent hydrocrystal, she couldn't wait to reach out and take it in her hand, looking this thing up and down, for a while, she looked at Cloun with a frown, and her eyes unabashedly revealed her suspicion of him...

"This is an artifact?" She asked Crawn in a very bad tone, and the latter was stunned for a moment, and replied to her: "Yes, you may not know how much we have paid for this thing, the entire dark line organization planted in the Combine has been exposed, and they have bloodied our informants..."

"I just listen to it or not! I don't have time to listen to your complaints! She shouted coquettishly, and Brand also stepped forward to try to ask Crown, but Crawn's face turned cold, and he turned his head and asked him quietly, "What?" Now even you doubt me? I think I'm a selfish and despicable villain who doesn't care about the overall situation, and I have the idea of stealing artifacts, right? ”

"There is no sir!" Brand immediately tensed up and stood up straight, but the wound on his body was torn and began to hurt sharply, Brand immediately cried out, and hid to the side with an ugly face, the female envoy of the divine domain nodded, and lit up the artifact, and the dazzling golden light immediately attracted the attention of everyone around, all of them showed greed, seeing this scene, the female envoy nodded with satisfaction, put it in a beautiful meteorite box, and then took it back, turned around and said to Clone with a smile:

"I will report the merits of your human beings truthfully, and you human beings will definitely make great achievements in the future, and I look forward to establishing diplomatic relations with you at some point, and I will say goodbye here."

The messenger did not stop for a moment, and walked away quickly, and Clounn glared at Brand, who quickly followed, and Clouen looked at his back coldly, without saying a word

"Establish diplomatic relations? Hmph, when you threw the pot on our heads, did you ever think about what the fate of mankind would be in the future? A few words of reassurance without pain, even if you decide on a race that is as inconsequential as ants in your eyes, and is used and then discarded? Sure enough, no foreign power is worthy of the trust of mankind! ”

"Agent Marne, have you cleaned the traces? And are all my things locked? Clun straightened his collar, and an agent walked behind him, and replied respectfully:

"Yes sir, everything is ready, and you can leave at any time."

"Very good, go back and tell Colbrand, now that the 18th Institute is temporarily under his command, I am leaving here with the headquarters organs, don't ask, let alone investigate, everything is running as usual, this is an order!"
