Chapter 160, Presumption of Guilt
In the few hours between Xia Yan leaving the main city and losing contact again, Lu Pingchuan once again felt what kind of situation it was like to be "burnt out": less than two hours after the two groups of people and horses started, Situ Nan, who was in charge of attacking the "Wandering Circus" position, came with bad news - Sapphire left at least five teams of garrisons there, and the combat effectiveness was above the town, and Situ Nan and they were beaten to the ground after only one round of contact. After weighing the tactical value of the two roads and the number of current combatants www.biquge.info Lu Pingchuan decisively ordered the first way to retreat immediately and return to the town to defend.
However, the second rescue team led by Xia Yan made him feel even more exhausted and overwhelmed - since Xia Yan led the team into the mining area, he has not been able to make effective contact with Zode and the original garrison for a long time. When everyone in the main city was already preparing for the worst, they received news from Xia Yan that they had successfully rescued Zode and his party.
But before they could be happy for a few minutes, the message from the system dial made Lu Pingchuan fall into an ice cave: Zod was shot, and the rescue team was suspected of finding a spy...... Immediately afterwards, Zod was sacrificed, Joseph was killed, Xia Yan disappeared, and the entire rescue team was almost wiped out! The bad news came one after another, so much so that when the very few surviving rescue team members arrived in the main city, Lu Pingchuan was a little confused - he could not judge how much of the news brought back by these people was true and credible, how much was confused by subjective consciousness and malicious stance, and how much of it still contained the truth of what happened last night.
“…… There is no doubt that the spy is Liu Yuying, and the mastermind behind the scenes should be Xia Yan, the two of them should work together inside and outside to kill Zode and Joseph! In the mayor's hall, Madeleine gritted her teeth and complained to the crowd about what had happened in the mines. Her pink medical officer's uniform had been dyed black and red with blood, and with her messy blonde hair and red eyes, she looked particularly shocking and pitiful.
"It's impossible, Xia Yan won't do such a thing." Lu Pingchuan blurted out, interrupting Madeleine's appeal. The only remaining medic on Zod's team raised his red and swollen eyes, changing from his usual lively appearance, his eyes fierce and angry like a wounded she-wolf. Faced with Lu Pingchuan's question, she glared at the other party for a few seconds, and suddenly sneered: "It's no wonder that in the past few months since the beta, the two of you have almost been inseparable, and anyone can see that you are interested in her...... But Captain Lu, as a former friend, I would like to remind you of one thing - do you really know your teammates as well as you think? ”
As soon as these words came out, Lu Pingchuan was suddenly speechless - he knew Xia Yan's identity as a "shuffler", and Xia Yan also promised that in the future, except for the confidential information related to the mission, she would not deliberately make any reservations about them...... But what if, this time, Xia Yan's task is to get rid of Zod? With the identity of the relationship of the Black Tower, this situation is not impossible......
Although his thoughts involuntarily wandered towards the dark corner of suspicion, when Lu Pingchuan looked up and saw Madeleine's bloodshot eyes, he suddenly woke up - he was led into the misunderstanding of subjective suspicion by the other party's accusation, and Madeleine's preemptive voice caused him a rather unfavorable situation: he couldn't be here, at least in front of these rescue team members who had just crawled back from the edge of death.
These survivors in front of them, they have just witnessed Liu Yuying's public rebellion, and witnessed Xia Yan's abandonment and disappearance...... For them, any speech in support of both of them now would be the most serious provocation to their lost brother, and to the betrayal and slaughter they had suffered. Each of them was already weak and crumbling, but one by one they were full of hatred, and they couldn't immediately catch the two executioners and tear them to pieces.
“…… It's still unclear and I think it's too early to tell. Lu Pingchuan took two deep breaths before he was able to calm down, and suggested to everyone in the most pertinent tone possible, "The top priority at the moment is to quickly treat the wounded and straighten out the defense line in the main city, so as to prevent the 'Black Sheep Infiltration Group' from taking advantage of the victory to pursue them, and then attack here...... Zhong Ming, you first take the brothers who have been withdrawn to the medical station for rest and treatment, and the rest stay, I have some affairs to arrange. ”
"Yes, Captain." Zhong Ming went out with someone as he said. With the departure of the wounded, the originally tragic indoor air seems to have calmed down a little. Lu Pingchuan endured the sadness, guilt and many doubts in his heart, supported the podium with both hands, and said to the rest of the people, "Next, I have some reluctance to ask you - the first thing is to ask everyone to supervise in pairs, and immediately confirm that everyone present has taken the initiative to join the 'town garrison'!" In five minutes, I will come to confirm with you one by one, if I find out that someone still retains the right to choose a faction, then Situ Nan, you can shoot immediately! ”
Everyone looked at each other when they heard this, only to find that Situ Nan, who had been standing behind Lu Pingchuan since entering, had lost his trace at some point. Although Situ Nan is idle on weekdays, in terms of sniper level, he is recognized as one of the excellent snipers who has always been among the best in the internal test. If there is not such a monster-level existence as "Sapphire" in this session, maybe Situ Nan will become a master benchmark in the eyes of all sniper players.
"Why force the choice of sides? Isn't this our own privacy and power? Faintly feeling the long-suppressed sense of intimidation in Lu Pingchuan's words, some of the players present began to raise objections. Lu Pingchuan sighed, pulled out the pistol from his waist, opened the insurance unhurriedly, and said: "Everyone heard just now, the spy who infiltrated the rescue team this time took advantage of the bug that there was another opportunity to actively modify after the passive camp selection, which caused irreparable damage to our teammates and the action plan." After witnessing such a tragedy, those who still try to keep the opportunity to change their faction...... I can only treat them like potential traitors! (To be continued.) )
