Chapter 15: Poison Gas
After passing through the long road, Anjie came to the right side of the three-way intersection.
Without any hindrance, she and Bruce made their way to the room at the fork in the right side.
No corpses, no enemies.
But there's something more terrifying than that.
An Jie's face was gloomy as she looked at several large jars in the room on the right, holding in her hand a document she had picked up from under the jars, which revealed a terrifying fact.
Frankenstein ...... Make poison gas here ?! ”
It is self-evident what these big canisters in front of her contain, An Jie gently unscrewed a little poison gas canister, but nothing leaked out of it, obviously the poison gas had been transported away.
An Jie looked at the jars with a gloomy face and said to Bruce, "Bruce, you stand back. ”
Sergeant Bruce silently stepped back.
"Steam Cannon Hammer!"
A huge steel arm appeared in the void, and a large amount of steam began to be discharged from the exhaust pipes all over the body of the steel arm, with its own strength and the acceleration of steam, the steel fist blasted these gas canisters into dust!
"Boom!!"
The dust was mixed with steam, and An Jie, who couldn't wait, directly launched a spell to blow the smoke away, revealing what was underneath the smoke.
"Tsk!"
Corpses, corpses again.
"I thought the professor was stealing so many dead people to build a zombie army...... I didn't expect those corpses to be used to make poison gas. ”
Inside the shattered gas canister, there were only piles of carrion. But you don't have to look closely at An Jie to know that these carrions once belonged to humans.
"No, if the purpose in the first place was poison gas, there's no reason to cut so many holes in the corpse."
An Jie frowned, and her mind began to fall into an endless loop.
"It's been so much commotion, and still no one has shown up, so it seems that there is really no one here...... It's not that big of a place after all. ”
Counting the forks in the road that you haven't visited, this underground facility is only three rooms in total. Although the morgue and the gas factory were large, the sound spread in the enclosed basement, and Frankenstein should have heard it.
Unless she's not there.
The gas that disappeared from the gas tank also provided evidence of her departure, and Anjie thought that Frankenstein might have left after completing his mission here.
"Sergeant, come with me! Go to the last room! ”
She could vaguely feel in her heart that she might be able to get an answer there.
The two of them walked through the quiet corridor and around the corner to the final room. It didn't take long for a portal to appear in front of them.
Bruce said vigilantly, "Sergeant, should we ......?"
Before he finished speaking, An Jie violently blasted open the big iron door in front of him.
"Mother-in-law and mother will lose important clues, and my time for action is almost up."
The room behind the door was not another factory or something as Anjie imagined, but an ordinary bedroom...... It's still very girly.
Kicking away the teddy bear that was in the way, An Jie began to rummage through the boxes and cabinets to find clues.
Bruce looked at his lieutenant speechless, but soon joined in the search for clues.
After looking for a long time, the two found nothing.
"If I had known this would have happened, I wouldn't have killed that old man."
Rarely, An Jie regretted her actions.
"At that time, I thought that I had limited time, so I hurriedly dealt with it, and now that the clues are gone, I can only blame myself."
An Jie sighed.
"Second Lieutenant, I found it!"
Sergeant Bruce suddenly exclaimed, holding up a half-burned piece of paper and saying, "Something suspicious has been found!" ”
"Show me!"
Ann took the piece of paper, looked at the words on it, and read it.
The paper was burned so badly that An Jie could barely make out a few keywords. Includes: Frankenstein, Poison Gas, Army, Corps, Nobel, Ultra-High Pressure Phlogiston, Transfer, Ryan, Renunciation, and Parallelist......
“………… Something is better than nothing. ”
Bruce asked, "What to do?" Lieutenant? ”
"Keep searching! Until you can't find anything anymore! ”
An Jie gritted her teeth.
So a new round of rummaging began............
——————
By the time Anjie and Bruce came out of the underground factory, it was already dawn.
In the end, they didn't get any clues other than the note in their hands.
"I have no choice but to take this note back and hand it over, and I don't know if I can get new clues."
In addition to the note, the biggest gain of Anjie's trip was to learn that the target she was chasing was to create poison gas.
Needless to say, in any case, the manufacture and use of poison gas is a violation of the Continental Convention, and as long as this matter is stabbed, she will not be the only one who will hunt down Frankenstein.
But An Jie was hesitant to report the poison gas to the public.
Compared with the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and the majesty of the continental convention, she is more concerned about whether her career is smooth. Because of Frankenstein's affairs, Admiral Lysa made a stand for her. If she poked this matter up, she couldn't imagine what kind of attitude the admiral would have.
(In any case, this powerful backstage must not be lost.) )
She hadn't forgotten that Lesa didn't have a crush on her.
"Ensign? Lieutenant! ”
Bruce's call woke Ann Jie from her musings, and she looked up to find her lieutenant waiting with the "state-of-the-art" cell phone that Lesa had designed to work with her.
There was also an old-fashioned "Dididi" ringtone on the phone.
An Jie took the phone and answered, "Hey? ”
"Hey, is that Second Lieutenant Scarlett?"
"That's right, it's me."
"Captain Davion asked me to tell you that the troops have been ordered to move forward, and the destination is the front-line battlefield - the Brienia Hills."
“………… Well, thank you for your notification. ”
"You're welcome, second lieutenant. The Captain tells you to go to the front line to join him as soon as the investigation is over. ”
"I see, please tell him: Second Lieutenant Angel Scarlett will leave today, and will be at the front in a day's time."
"I understand, the lower officials will tell the truth, for the glory of the empire."
"Hmm...... For the glory of the Empire. ”
The phone hung up, An Jie was silent for a while, and said to Sergeant Bruce: "Bruce, can you go and see if those corpses wrapped in cement are still there?" ”
Bruce's face immediately turned purple, but he nodded in response, "Yes!" Lieutenant! With that, he turned around and was about to leave.
"And ......" An Jie said suddenly: "Don't tell anyone what happened here!" ”
Bruce was stunned for a moment, but didn't say anything, nodded and turned to leave.
And An Jie, after seeing Bruce walk away, picked up the phone again and dialed a number.
"Dut...... Toot ......"
After a busy tone, a majestic and indifferent voice sounded on the phone: "Hey? ”
"Admiral Lesa......"
An Jie said lightly:
"I'm Scarlett."
