"Hello, Dr. Hansen."

Communication is connected, and the moment it is connected, Jim speaks. And when you open your mouth, you have a blunt and detached tone and greetings.

"It's just a pity that I'm not doing well, Commander Renault." In response to Jim's blunt greeting, Dr. Ariel Hansen's tone was gentle and much more cultured. But the softness of the tone did not mean that the smell of gunpowder would diminish it, and in a calm atmosphere, an unstoppable storm was brewing between the two: "I am saddened that my people have been slaughtered by your Rangers. ”

My people.

Your Ranger.

Dr. Ariel Hansen successfully used the charm of language to portray herself as a victim, but no one else watched this wonderful performance. And what she did only made Jim angrier.

"Oh, is it? I deeply regret this, doctor. "Dr. Hansen's acting skills are good, and Jim is not bad acting either. Two companions who used to work closely with each other were acting at the same time, and the two skilled actors were playing tricks on each other: "I just don't know if you mean the alienated combat body by 'civilian', or if you refer to the local army of Haiwen who attacked my troops?" ”

The atmosphere suddenly froze, and Dr. Hansen, who was not as confident as Jim Reynolds, fell silent.

"Those mutant creatures don't give a damn to you, Jim. I can heal them. ”

It was a long time before Dr. Hansen spoke. But her words changed suddenly.

"Are you sure? My dear. Jim's thoughts raced to the point where Dr. Hansen's words shifted: "Last time you said 'infected' shouldn't die. Instead of 'mutant creatures' should not die. ”

Infected organisms are of course different from mutant organisms. The infected person is a person who carries the virus, but is still sane and will not wave its claws at its own kind. Mutant creatures are monsters through and through.

Dr. Hansen fell silent.

Jim looked away from Dr. Hansen's lowered eyes, and he tried to look at Dr. Hansen's surroundings in the video conversation—no doubt in the lab.

The unique backdrop is a huge nutrient tank filled with a green liquid in a transparent tank. And the humanoids inside flutter in the liquid.

Mankind? Alienated combat bodies? Infected?

There are more than one or two jars, and five or six can be seen just in the background of the screen. And what can't be seen, there will definitely be more.

"Haven has a lot of people who died at your hands. Jim Reno. Dr. Hansen looked up, "That's all my people." ”

Jim Renaud was silent. But his silence was not because of Dr. Hansen's questioning that made him feel ashamed. It's Dr. Hansen's....... A bloody streak suddenly appeared on Dr. Hansen's pale cheek and chin. It was a bloodshot in the center of the lips up to the tip of the chin.

The blood stains stretched more and more, and while extending towards the throat, the blood stains that touched the lips and could no longer extend upwards split to both sides as they turned a corner.

"Dr. Hansen, your mouth ....."

At the command center on the other side of the planet, Dr. Hansen was startled by Jim Reno's reminder and then touched his jaw. For a moment, Dr. Hansen felt the wetness on his hands.

Dr. Hansen disconnected.

"Matt, I noticed during our conversation that Dr. Hansen seems to be infected." The scene of Dr. Hansen's blood on his chin replaying in Jim's mind after the conversation ended, and in an instant Jim made a decision: "I'm going to take a team and take a look." ”

"Sir, do you want to go into battle in person?"

"Yes, Matt, I'll leave the matter to you here." Jim pulled away, but out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Matt Horner's face was not very good.

"Sir, here's two pieces of bad news."

Before Jim could ask, Matt spoke.

"Say."

"The Hyperion has just intercepted a distress signal from the battlecruiser USS Kelant. A local army of eight hundred and forty-seven men of Haven was approaching our position. ”

The Kelrant's distress signal? Zhao Yi? And also...... Haven's local army?

Two super troublesome things pile up at the same time, and Jim has to make a decision. Now that the Kellant has sent out a distress signal, the Hyperion must be visited. But they couldn't let the Haven Army storm the Rangers' positions. The Rangers weren't afraid of being breached, but Jim Reynolds was sorry for his lives—not to mention knowing that Dr. Hansen might be infected, and might even give the wrong orders to the still healthy Haven Army.

"Matt, take the Hyperion, follow the distress signal. I'll take care of the Haven thing. ”

After the soldiers are divided into two roads, they are divided into two roads, which is good.

"Yes! Sir. ”

"I'll teach Swan the command of the Rangers on Haven for the time being, and I'll continue to find out where Dr. Hansen is."

After the soldiers are divided into two roads, they are divided into three ways? This isn't a game!

Originally, the rangers on the planet Haven were very complete, and at Zhao Yi's suggestion, they separated the Kelant and went to the moon of Hirilla in order to decapitate the mother insects. After that, the Huberion, which received the Calrant's distress signal, had to leave to go to the rescue. The Rangers on the ground are left behind, and among the Rangers on the ground, Jim also has to leave the position to find out the truth at Dr. Hansen's location.

"Sir, I don't worry about your comfort. I'm questioning if Mr. Swan's command skills will make a mess of the Rangers. ”

Fart! Matt was genuinely worried about Jim Reynold's comfort. Because although Swan was an engineer, there was no such thing as recklessness in his character. And in the case that the combat effectiveness of the Rangers is absolutely crushing compared to the Haven Local Army and the Alienated Combat Body, how can you just take care of it and make a mess of the Rangers?

"Thank you. Matt. Jim laughed. The usual words of thanks and names let Matt Horner know the power contained in them.

That's what Jim Renault has to solve.

——————————————————

"You can do it, Mr. Cowboy."

From Jim Reynold's battle armor came the voice of Rory Swan's disgust. Why is Swan so disgusted? It's all Jim's prelude.

Jim, who knew about Swan's personality, did not tell Swan in advance that he wanted Swan to take command of the troops temporarily. Instead, he put on his battle armor and called in his men, and traveled several kilometers before using the communication channel to inform Swan of the great task he had to undertake.

It's all about catching ducks on the shelves, but if you don't do that, Swan, who is not keen on directing operations, will definitely not take over the command.
