Chapter 139: Ye Zixu's self-blame
"Isn't that [owl]? Didn't they just enter the Red Mist Zone for a few days, why did they come back? ”
"Did you encounter some strong enemy? I don't think they have much to lose, hey, it seems to be a lot more. ”
"You idiot, that's the [Grey Parrot]! [Owl] seems to have suffered heavy losses, and it is estimated that it has been attacked by a strong enemy. ”
As soon as you enter the White Tiger Fortress, you will receive the attention of many warriors.
These engine warriors are whispering, people are so lively, they are the same, this kind of thing is more or less, as long as they don't say something weird and cool, Jiang Muye doesn't care.
The Fifth Legion has a special repair area in each fortress, and for these warriors fighting in the Red Mist Zone, whether it is logistics supplies or medical supplies, the Glorious Army will not be stingy.
"Each detachment took it to rest, and at two o'clock in the afternoon, all the detachment leaders came to my office for a meeting." Jiang Muye rubbed his eyebrows, although he didn't have many direct shots, but commanding was also an extremely energy-consuming thing.
Matt asked Ling An and the others to disband on their own, and the injuries of Kaisen and Cheng Yi were dealt with by the medical personnel of the [Owl] and [Gray Parrot] teams on the way back, and all they needed was to recuperate for a while.
Kaisen's injury was a little strange, he always felt that he was missing something after being bitten by that skull, and he was going to wait for his body to recover to find out the reason.
Ling An too, he didn't want to do anything now, he didn't even want to run Zhou Tianjue cultivation, he just wanted to sleep well, after fighting with Leng Ash, his spirit fell into a state of fatigue, and he went forward for a few hours in a row, although he hadn't reached the limit yet, his body had already begun to crave sleep to offset fatigue.
"Anyway, get some sleep first." In his own room, Ling An barely climbed onto the bed and collapsed with his head down.
……
"Captain Jiang, according to what you said, is it really a new kind of monster?"
In a pure white room in the White Tiger Fortress, a group of people are sitting around a round table.
Although there is no person in charge of a war zone like Lin Cheng and Yang Jiang, he is also an important person in the White Tiger Fortress.
The person who questioned him was a middle-aged man dressed in white, wearing a pair of glasses, his name was Holt, and he was the supreme person in charge of the scientific research department of the Sixth Army in the White Tiger Fortress.
"Well, although it seems to be a carrier of the Crimson Demon, it is regarded by our team members as a metamorphosed Scarlet Demon. But in fact, it should be a collection of multiple alien creatures, but it should not be so easy to combine the strengths of different creatures. Jiang Muye said.
"Captain Jiang, you [owls] have worked hard this time, I heard what you just said, you have captured a red crystal of this metamorphosed scarlet demon?" The person sitting in the center of the round table was Shen Nian, the deputy chief of the White Tiger Fortress and the deputy commander of the Second Legion.
Hearing the red crystals of the transformed Scarlet Demon, Holt's eyes lit up.
"Well, since I got it, I've been protecting it myself, after all, we [owls] have also paid a heavy price for this thing." Jiang Muye sighed, took out the black box from his arms, and placed it in the center of the table.
"Can you show us this so-called metamorphosis Scarlet Devil before handing it over to Research?" On the side, a captain of a partisan unit of the Second Army asked.
Jiang Muye nodded, not worried about danger at all.
There are no less than fifteen A-class warriors here, not to mention a transformed Scarlet Demon, even if it is a Crimson Devourer, he has to lie on his stomach obediently.
"Open it." Shen Nian nodded.
Jiang Muye gently opened the box, and the moment the box opened, the surrounding energy was cut off, ensuring that the red crystal in it could not get a trace of energy to recover.
After observing the red crystal first, and then letting it recover, it was not a difficult task for this group of A-class warriors.
Holt was already impatient, the red crystals that were no different in the eyes of others, in his eyes, each red crystal had unique characteristics.
Holt often said that only by fully understanding the strange race of aliens can humans have a chance to truly defeat them.
"Let me see......" Holt's face was full of antiquity.
However, after opening the box and looking at its contents, Holt's expression became foggy.
The red crystals that were supposed to sit quietly in the box were gone, replaced by a puff of red powder.
"This ...... This ......"
Except for Jiang Muye, who was shocked, the rest of the people were silent.
"Could it be that these guys are already able to affect themselves when they are in a red crystal state?" Holt was dejected.
Once in the state of red crystals, any alien race, including demons, is extremely vulnerable, and cannot affect the outside world, including themselves, this is a truth that has always been grasped by the Glorious Army, and it is also the result of long-term practice.
That's why the Glorious Army was able to capture some aliens as research objects, because as long as they were kept in a red crystal state, even if they wanted to kill themselves, they couldn't do it.
"Isn't that tantamount to telling me that we can't do anything if we want to capture samples for study in the future?" Holt said bitterly.
"Captain Jiang, this ......" Shen Nian frowned and looked at Jiang Muye.
No one doubted what Jiang Muye said, and Shen Nian believed that Jiang Muye, who was an A-class, could not make the mistake of damaging the experimental object.
But at this moment, looking at Holt, who was crying and had no posture as the head of the research department, he preferred to believe that Jiang Muye's protection was ineffective.
After all, if it is true as Holt said, it means that it will be difficult for humans to find the weaknesses of the alien race through research in the laboratory in the future.
What's more, the usefulness of red crystals is not just for research.
"No way. After putting it in the isolation box, the box never left my side. When you put it in, it's complete, and the life fluctuations within it are there. Jiang Muye shook his head, and there was a trace of doubt in his eyes.
Could it be that I accidentally damaged the red crystal?
……
"It's really refreshing to get a good night's sleep."
Ling An got up and stretched, he had slept quite comfortably for the past few hours, he hadn't slept like this for a long time and woke up naturally.
Oh no, it's not sleeping until you wake up naturally...... Ling An looked at the personal terminal that he had thrown to the ground because the alarm clock was too annoying.
Cuckoo~
The stomach began to scream, and after acting in such a tense atmosphere in the Red Mist District for several days, he hadn't eaten a good meal, Ling An rubbed it, and decided to go and satisfy his stomach first.
"Hey, how long has it been since that guy eaten?"
"You have just arrived, that comrade soldier must be from the Fifth Legion, many people from the Fifth Legion have been like this since they came back, it is said that they often do not eat for a month, and they have to move at high intensity."
"Ah, are the front-line fighters so hard?"
"So our logistics team has to work harder...... Eh, that brother ordered again, you can serve it. ”
"Huh? Oooh......"
Ling An ate another meal and lay down on the chair contentedly, rubbing his stomach.
"Hiccup~ I haven't eaten so cool for a long time, it's just a little expensive."
Ling An looked at the merit points that had been deducted, and sighed in his heart.
The first food is free, and the later ones have to be meritorious, one hundred, Ling An ate four servings, this is four hundred meritorious service.
After all, these foods are meant to provide satiety, and if only to provide energy, the engine can do that. Food is not a necessity for these warriors on the Martian battlefield, but a pleasure.
Fortunately, the Fifth Legion is also very profitable, and after this mission, Ling An got no less than 5,000 merits, but unfortunately, Leng Ash was not killed by himself, otherwise, this time another 10,000 would have been earned.
After eating a little, Ling An sat behind the table, lazily propping his head and thinking about something.
Doom Fist ...... This demon - now the Great Demon - is indeed a concern.
Ling An reported everything he saw, and the battlefield recorder could also prove it, and because of this, Ling An only got half of the merit.
But the question is, why did Bad Fist do that?
Although he did not expose the abnormality of his right eye, if Leng Ash told the high-level of the alien race about his situation, combined with the intelligence of the Evil Fist itself, the alien race should have targeted him.
Perhaps, a killing order will be issued among the aliens.
So why did the Bad Fist kill Leng Ash? What is his purpose?
He, don't want to expose himself?
"What's wrong, what are you thinking?" A familiar voice came from behind him, Ling An couldn't do it, and he knew it was Ye Zixu when he heard the voice.
Ye Zixu seemed to have just returned to the fortress from the rear battlefield, and he still had some alien green blood stains on his body.
"How's the situation on the battlefield in the rear?" Ling An didn't answer Ye Zixu's question, but asked.
"The alien race has not abandoned the rear battlefield." Ye Zixu ordered a piece of food, then sat down and looked at Ling An. "You can see more kinds of aliens on the battlefield in the rear, and before I came back from the outpost today, I also slaughtered a minotaur ......"
Listening to Ye Zixu talk about the situation on the battlefield in the rear, Ling An had a rough guess about the thoughts of the alien race.
After obtaining the genes from the rear battlefield, they did not stop there, but still wanted to send their cheap and efficient troops to the rear battlefield to contain the Glorious Army guerrilla troops. And because there is now a surveillance network laid by humans on the rear battlefield, the alien race even has more and stronger troops than before.
Perhaps, it will not be long before they start a full-scale war in the theater again.
Especially when the genes developed by the Fallen God Society have actually begun to be converted into combat effectiveness.
"I've heard that you [owls] have suffered a lot of losses this time." Ye Zixu's food came up, he took a sip of tea first, and then asked.
"What happened? Of course, you can't just say it, and you won't have trouble. ”
Ling An remembered everything he had experienced in the past few days in the Red Mist Zone.
"We had a fight with the aliens, and at night the bed bugs attacked us. Eight Great Demons, twenty Demons, and a large number of Marauders and other alien monsters...... Lao Ye, what we have been worried about has come true. ”
Ye Zixu's eyes froze, and the chopsticks holding the food in his hand stopped.
"You mean? Gene? His voice grew serious.
"yes, that's what you think." Ling An sighed.
"A new species has been discovered this time, which is a metamorphosis of the Scarlet Devil...... Somewhat different from what we had previously imagined, these metamorphoses of the Crimson Demons are very powerful, concentrating the advantages of the common races of alien monsters, being able to stealth, possessing carapaces, being able to manipulate their own bone spurs, and being physically strong and extremely powerful......"
Ye Zixu listened quietly, and after listening, he sighed.
"If only I had guessed their purpose earlier, the top brass of the Glorious Army trusted me and gave me the full authority and identity to call the information, but I still let the alien get the genes."
