Vol. 1 The Burning Sun (9)

The dry and vast plains of Central Asia suddenly raised dust on the skyline. A herd of mutant cows with rings on their ears fled, and the few poor insects that left behind were pounced on by the ferocious xenos behind them and mutilated.

Unlike in the past, even the most greedy wolves did not rush to compete for food with the xenos who had already hunted their targets, and after a few days they had learned that it was much easier to hunt down prey with little experience in the wild than to fight for food from the mouths of their powerful counterparts!

As hours passed, the well-fed xenos paced slowly in the direction where the cattle had disappeared, leaving a trail of gnawed bones and large pools of blood on the ground, and a thick smell of blood permeating the entire plain.

"Headquarters, headquarters, the predator herd designated CY1180 has been lured to the designated area, please file it and watch out for subsequent feeding bait."

"Headquarters understands! The aircraft will arrive at your location in half an hour, so please pay close attention to your surroundings and report to us if you have any problems! ”

"Understood!"

As soon as the words fell, the space on a hill on the plain was distorted, and several scouts in stealth cloaks revealed their figures, one of them raised his terminal to take a look, and then hung the pulse rifle in his hand back on his body and sighed:

"It's okay, satellites and radars have shown that there is no trace of large-scale xenomorph activity around, let's rest for a while! I didn't think we'd be babysitters for those dogs one day! ”

His team has been following this group of xenos for the past few days, caring about their eating, drinking, and Lazar, which is even more devout than serving his own Lao Tzu.

Another teammate pouted:

"Don't complain, we're good! I heard that the best marksmanship in the brigade was sent to hunt with the hunters in the buffer zone...... Who would have thought that we had worked so hard to train our marksmanship to fight those mutated rabbits? ”

As soon as everyone heard this, no one complained, after all, no one wanted to go to the mountains and old forests every day to find any rabbits.

This time, the alliance mobilized almost the entire army, and the entire alliance tried its best to collect meat and put it in this area, so that the local ecology that had been bad due to the migration of African xenos miraculously improved, and now on this long corridor, countless hungry xenos were attracted by the abundant food, gathering an incredible number of ferocious xenomorphs.

"Anyway, our new General Staff Officer is really a talent, and he actually came up with this method to make them our barrier! Hey, aren't they our mercenaries? Do we pay for them? Hahaha......"

After saying this, the people in the investigation team were not very depressed, and the chatterbox opened up one after another......

In the officer's villa in the Tiandu Security Zone, Fred was packing his bags, and he was about to leave. The whole plan he made was carried out in an orderly manner: in Central Asia, the corridor to the Himalayan volcanic belt was occupied by a large number of xenomorphs, and although the alliance needed to consume a huge amount of food every day to sustain it, it made it difficult for the demon legions to move forward; To the west, the reorganized battle legions are in full swing preparing to go on the march, launching a fierce attack on Sicily's volcanic belt at the first order, cutting off the supply routes of the demon legions. And his trip this time is to add the last bargaining chip to this operation, so that the whole scale is tilted towards himself.

Fred's battleship docked at the ground base of Research Institute 521 (the battleship was too large to get inside) and descended to the core of the institute by elevator, where Fred wanted to convince Minami Suzuki, an unfathomable woman, to fully support his operation. In order for this battle to end perfectly, the high-end combat power of the 521 Research Institute is indispensable.

Apparently, Minami Suzuki also had the intention of talking to Fred, and met separately in the director's office with the visitor who had recently overshadowed the rest of his colleagues.

"Director Suzu, you must know my intentions, so I won't talk nonsense."

Fred came up straight to the point, and he didn't have to beat around the bush with smart people, and there was no doubt that he and Minami Suzuki were among the best.

Minami Suzuki smiled slightly, stood up and made a cup of tea for Fred:

"I'm very curious, why did you, the upstart of the military department, go to the near and far places to find me instead of seeking the help of the Nangong family?"

"Thank you!"

Fred took the teacup with both hands, took a sip, and said:

"Good tea!"

"Of course, drinking tea is one of my few hobbies, and the selection of materials is naturally very particular, and it takes a lot of hard work to harvest so few little tea leaves every year. General Fred, it's hard for me to use it to greet outsiders! ”

"Thanks to Director Ling's view, then I will be sincere"

Fred could hear the intention of cooperation in Minami Suzuki's tone

"In fact, we all understand that the current human beings on the earth are no longer the absolute protagonists, and the power of the alliance will become smaller and smaller under the squeeze of xenomorphs in the future, but the Nangong family, which has a big business, is unwilling to face this fact. If a character like Nangong Yun who can unite the Nangong family can still struggle a few more times, and I don't want to tie myself to a sinking boat. ”

"It's really a standard pioneer speech......

Minami Suzuki sat in his chair and smiled as he waited for Fred to throw out the dry goods.

"Actually, I'm not a pioneer, they didn't point out the space mining technology when they rashly proposed that humans enter deep space, it is undoubtedly a big gamble, I, like you, prefer a neutral position, and agree with the multi-headed approach, through the exchange of space for time to let humans survive on the earth, until the technology of interstellar colonization matures. To this end, we might as well form an alliance, watch over each other, and work hard to continue the entire human civilization! ”

Now there are many alliances, and everyone is fighting for different ideas. As a conservative, the Nangong family wants to rely on the accumulation of the past to turn mankind around; As a radical pioneer who wanted to recreate the glory of the Age of Discovery by venturing into space, Fred also had his own ideals.

"I have to say that you have a very thorough view of the current situation, and you are worthy of being a genius who passed the graduation assessment with a perfect score in tactics and strategy. Well, I'm going to mobilize all the forces I can to support your campaign, and I'm going to remember our alliance in the future! ”

Fred was also very surprised to achieve the purpose of this trip so easily, which also showed that the woman in front of him had her own purpose or was keenly aware of some crisis, which made Fred hesitate a little and did not answer for a while.

"What's wrong? You must know that there are no benefits in the world that are obtained for no reason, and all gains come at a price. The reason why you have what you have today is inseparable from the lot of sweat you spent in the academy in the past. If the results of this campaign do not work as expected, your myth will be ended and all your efforts will be in vain! Even if so, doesn't it matter? ”

Suzuki Minami's words instantly hit Fred's vital point, he worked so hard that even his family didn't have time to organize, in order to show off the loss in his chest? In this troubled era of many talents, if you can't grasp the opportunity, you are likely to drown in the tide of history, and just become a symbol, no one remembers him Fred, and no one will sing his story.

"Okay, we'll be comrades from now on!"

Fred stretched out his hand, this Suzu is the only person he can't see through, this smart man who is also rare in the legend for a hundred years means an unknowable risk to him, but also represents a huge opportunity.

"From now on, we will advance and retreat together"

Two rare clever men have made an alliance.

After Fred left, Shi Lei walked in:

"You know what that means?"

"I know"

In the face of Shi Lei's accusation, Suzuki Minami said calmly:

"Forming an alliance with others means that we cannot remain neutral from other powers, and we will inevitably be involved in a brutal struggle among factions."

"We don't give up our lives to be your tools to achieve your goals!"

Shi Lei stood up excitedly, he didn't exist for infighting!

Minami Suzuki threw a large stack of papers on the table and said coldly:

"Do you think you're okay with non-alignment? The reason why your life is so tragic is because you are too naΓ―ve! ”

Shi Lei picked up those documents and looked through them one by one, and his face became more and more ugly:

"The power of the Nangong family has infiltrated to this extent?"

"Isn't that weird?"

Suzuki Nan's eyes were fixed on Liu Yuxin, who was still unconscious in the surveillance, and the expression on his face was an indifferent attitude, as if the people of the Nangong family had infiltrated other units and had nothing to do with her:

"This research institute has always been the territory of the Nangong family's power, and I have only been in control of it for less than ten years, how can I manage it without leakage? After all, there are still a few elm pimples like you who only have responsibility! ”

That's just as well! Shi Lei thought in his heart, didn't he wonder why the principal was replaced by a young woman when he just woke up? At that time, because Suzuki Minami was too young, he muttered in his heart for a while, and there must be many people in the 521 research base who have this idea.

"Stop thinking about these useless things"

Suzuki Minami suddenly interrupted Shi Lei's contemplation with another voice

"This operation is also an opportunity for you, you have to take advantage of it! I've studied the activated volcanic belts, and the reason for their activation is the catalysis of some strange flame attribute holiness, and your deep-sea walker is restraining them. This time you need to behave well and show our new ally how valuable you are to him, so that he will keep you free to move in the turmoil that follows. ”

"What about you?"

Shi Lei heard the meaning of Suzuki's words.

"Me? ……”

Suzuki smiled dryly and said no more.

When Nangong Yun was alive, he would stop some actions against her because he realized her high value, but now Nangong Yun is dead!

Maybe his successor also knows what she means, but the current Nangong Yunfei has not come up with eye-catching results, and he can't suppress the stupidity of others at all......
